Thanks for the reply. Is the Campagnolo freehub something like this?
http://www.probikekit.co.uk/bicycle-whe ... tAodOjcAUwIs the fit fairly universal across all Campagnolo hubs? I have never really dealt with Campagnolo before, so sorry for what may seem like a daft question!

Are there any other hubs I should be looking at?
If you are running SRAM 22, I hear the Campy hub with Campy 11 cassette will work fine with SRAM 11 speed

I'm running Sram 10 speed, so not an option unfortunately.

The record 11 speed freehub comes with a 1.85mm spacer so it will take a 10 speed cassette. Given I supply/stock these hubs with a shimano freehub body already fitted I have pm'd you. Perfect hubs by the way.

@jbaillie- What a great build! Have you had a chance to log some miles yet? How do you like those rims? Great choice on the hubs by the way!

@jbaillie - are they the newer, even wider HED rims?

Thanks Zen, yes I rode most of this season on them and they're sublime!
Jooo yep they're the wider ones. Awesome in corners.

Any good source for Ti spokes. I fancy trying some in a silly light build.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the wider ones should say "Belgium +" and not "Belgium".
Belgium + = 25mm wide
Belgium = 23mm wide

I'm curious too. My next build (only front wheel) will be matching a Farsports 20mm rim(16H) to a M5 straight-pull front hub, with CN Aero424 spokes. If only I can get hold of those elusive titanium bladed straight-pull spokes to maximize the silly factor! (As if a shallow front wheel to match the 38mm rear was not laughable enough...
)

Sorry to post this but with 299 pages I can't trawl the whole thread. I'm looking to start building my own wheels and was thinking a book would help get me started. There seem to be several - which one(s) should I consider to give me a solid grounding?
I understand the basic principles involved but the fancy stuff - deciding on rear D/S & NDS spoking patterns (and effect on spoke tension) etc is beyond me at present.
Cheers!

That's part of the basic principles of wheel construction.
I recommend Jobst Brandt's book. Its easy to read and talks about all the basic factors in choosing lacing patterns etc.
