I've finally given up on flogging a dead horse and want to replace my American Classic rear hub :?

Any suggestions for a 24 hole rear hub for Campy in black ?

So far I've only found tune and they are mega bucks :cry:

DT has just announced 240's will be available in 24hole. I've already ordered a set, but they won't hit until Nov-Dec.

Extralites are available in a 24hole.

Not cheap either but absolutely light: Soul Kozak. Other option (I did several times) is to find a crashed Nucleon/Neutron rear, best hubs around.....

Out of the 4 AMC rear hubs I have used, only was has a problem with the cassette engagement mechanism. After retrofitting with the AMC fix-it-kit, it's working just as well as the other 3.

Just updating to modified AMC rear could prove the best bet, and you wouldn't even have to buy new spokes.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'd all but given up hope :)

I've decided against going round with a stick and trying to wreck any rear Nucleon riding past and thanks to Madcow now know that I can wait in peace until the Hügi's come out in 24's :D

The AM Classics were 2004's and a little play in the rear is meant to be normal :? That drove me absolutely nuts ! Seems they solve one problem each year only to create a new one the next. To be honest I'd feel guilty putting them on ebay
