I don't have a recommendation for hubs, but these look like great rims.

I'm hoping to make some sew-ups happen for next year, these will probably be the rims.

Those velocity rims are sweet, need to make sure that the width is the same as my Open Sport rims. These are 23mm, I think the Open Sport is around 22 or 21.5. Anyone know definitively how wide the Mavic Open Sports are?

I don't know, I wasn't able to find that spec. Are you hoping to avoid readjusting your brakes? If that's the case, the reflex rim will probably be a good bet.

I've got a set of reflex tubulars with vittorias glued, and ultegra hubs. You want to borrow them and see how they work for you? They are a little wider than the Open Pros, maybe 21mm?

probably just go with Reflex, it's not very exciting but I can afford them.

Single Speed Hubs?

I'd go ultegra or 105 for the front. You could bite the bullet and go King for the rear. Otherwise, White Industries makes a nice rear hub for about $120.

Isn't track spacing 125mm?

White and King aren't cheap enough. I pride myself on having the cheapest bike on the scene. I need hubs for less than $50
