Origin8/Formula Sealed Carrtidge flip/flop fixed/free hub, 120 mm spacing.
This wheel accepts track cogs or single freewheels.
Note: There is no need to re-space this wheel unless you have a non-steel frame. Almost all 27" frames are made of steel and have either 120mm or 126mm spacing. It is perfectly acceptable to "pinch in" 126mm dropouts to fit a 120mm hub.
32 DT stainless spokes
Weinmann RM19 Alloy rim. ( Schrader drilled ).
Note: Our machine-built wheels are a tremendous value. Many are priced less than what the individual components would cost. Machine-built wheels are not tensioned and trued to the level of custom hand-built wheels.
Rolls and stays true, can't complain.
Bearings still smooth after a year of use in snow rain etc
less torsional stiffness than my old r wheel, but could be easily fixed with some incresed spoke tension

Great for a quick and easy fixed gear conversion. The web site should probably note that the stock rim seems to be drilled for Schraeder valves. Still seems to work with Presta, but time may tell!
