Ian’s Hadley hubs and Stan’s Flow freeride wheelset
I was stoked to build these wheels – it had been a long time since I built with Hadley hubs. Hadley are quite a unique company, very small and based in California with no websites and no easy way of finding or contacting them…despite they’ve built a passionate following because their hubs are so good.
The rear hub has 72 engagement points and is easily convertible from 135mm to 150mm with either 10mm QR, 10mm thru-axle or 12mm thru-axle. The front is a 20mm thru-axle.
This wheelset uses double-butted DT Swiss Competition spokes and red anodized aluminium nipples. The rims are Stan’s ZTR Flow – the freeride rim from Stan’s which weight 460 – 470g.
