Well, I’m in. I had to use a muni this weekend because the coker wheel was just too wobbly after a ride, that I had spent a while truing just before said ride.
With the Stockton Special being miles out of my price range, I’ll have to ‘settle’ with the one from uni.com.
I noticed they say it has a high flanged hub…is this also a wide hub?
If you’re referring to the rebuilt coker wheel, uni.com uses the Schwinn high-flange hub, with 83mm flange spacing. That Schwinn is a standard ball bearing hub, slightly wider than a Sem Deluxe, and fits nicely in the stock coker frame. I had one with the stock coker rim before I had a custom wide hub made. The Schwinn hub with an Airfoil rim is the next best thing to a wide hub wheel.
That’s the uni.com hub, not the Schwinn.
hmm…that is what it says in the discription,but you can tell by the threaded axle in the photo that its not the unicycle.com
they really need to update those photo’s.alot of them contradict the discription or vice versa.
I purchased the airfoil coker rim a couple of weeks from unicycle.com. I talked to Amy and she said they are building all the wheels with unicycle.cromo hub’s now. Anyways I asked if they could build my wheel with the wider schwinn hub and they did it no problem.
far out, thanks
