Singlespeed Hubs

[EigerSA]

I'm about to place an order with CRC but am not sure what hubs to use on my ss. I can either go for a ss hub like the Fire Eye Excelerant RS 1214 or get a 8/9/10 speed hub and use a spacer kit.

 

Anyone used this hubs or come accross anything about them? What hubs (not phil wood or chris king, they not in my budget) are a good ss idea? Also ordering rims and spokes.

I have 1975ish campag super record track hubs for you.

If you go for the Hope SS Pro2 rear hub, you can at a later stage put a 6 speed cluster on if need be.

Single Speed? Six speed? WTF? Make a stand.

9 speed hub, and then the FE-SSK CAGE 1.8 from singlespeed.co.za?

I was initially going to go with a 9-speed hub with the gearclamp from singlespeed.co.za 'coz they offered me a really nice deal, but then I got sidetracked by pics of some nice phil woods ss hubs, though totally out of my price range, the idea of a non-dished ss specific hub is kinda nice.

can't find them on crc, are they the trials ones?

Another thing I noticed is quite a few of the singlespeed hubs (and some a lot of std ones) are coming without quick releases and with nuts instead; is this better for ss? my old ss had quick release and didn't seem to have a problem but the "safety" word is thrown around a lot so any difference?
