new hotness for 40euros

got an old n busted wheel that needs some new hotness? well a recent client of mine's 7400 series dura ace hub reached the end of its road but the campagnolo omega rim to which it was laced was still good as new. we wont ask how this happened, or how our (least) favourite bike shop in den haag came to have a huge overstock of 6500 series ultegra front hubs, we will just rebuild the wheel.



of the origional spokes, 6 didnt pass the quality control, another peculiar situation into which i refuse to delve further, but this situation was relatively quickly remedied with just 2 trips to the local bike shop, 5 spokes purchased the first trip saving the last spoke for the second trip. then it was out with the old n busted dura ace hub and in with the new ultegra hotness and a wheel is reborn. 15euros for the new hub, 20euros for the rebuild, 5 euros or so for the spokes and the chocolate bars fueling the many trips. another happy wheel...
