Not so good... roughly: Left Center To Flange: 36.5mm Right Center To Flange: 16.5mm

Zen Cyclery wrote:@KLabs- I'm not really sure I can answer your question. I didn't get any paperwork from Alchemy saying NOT to lace heads in, so I think it would be doable. I don't really see why its necessary though. This hub already builds up so rigid as is, even with heads out on the NDS.
Here are the specs for this hub: RF = 57.0, LF = 40.0, CR = 18.0, CL = 38.8

Although DS CTF = 17mm is ok, providing the FTF spacing is good (Campag seems to be a good example). What is the FTF spacing of the Alchemy UL rear hub ...

10 speed is 19.6mm
11 speed is 18mm
Are the hub you linked measuring to the center of the flange? I've been disappointed before when hub companies measure center to the outside of the flange to make their hub sound better than it is. Have those measurements been confirmed? I'm willing to bet Novatec is measuring to outside because they state Shimano 10 is 19mm. If they are measuring to outside, you have to subtract about 1.6mm to account for half the flange width. Not sure about Bartime. I hve my doubts that they are indeed 18mm center to center of flange.
