finally...

internal...

able to build up the internal hub for the rincon. i had everything laying around (hub, rim, tire), but no spokes.

i was going to do a three cross pattern, but the spokes never came in. well, we took a look and found out that they weren't making the spoke length that i needed for this. so, it was on to a four cross pattern. spokes in stock. wheel built.

i wasn't so concerned about any weight issues with the four cross...have you held an internal hub? weight is not a concern.

now the only thing i need is the shifter for this hub (because they only make one kind, and you need that one for the hub), and i'll be set. the shifter is in stock from out distributer, so i should see that next week. and by next weekend i'll be riding.

i modified my travel along basket to fit this hub, and with a basket on the back...watch out. no really...watch out. all that weight and basket can really throw off my turns.
