But not sure is this cost effective to change the Hub on the existing rims or buy a new wheelset. <br /><br />The rims should be Dahon BlacFoot 451/Black. I got the spec from Dahon Japan webite.<br /><br />The Front Hub is 74mm. Any idea what about the rear Hub? . Is all rear Hub standard 130mm?

Don't bother with keeping the rims or hubs, unless you are a competent wheel building who can build the wheel yourself.<br /><br />If you want a 11 speed compatible rear hub, just get a new wheelset. Wheelsport wheels are quite good value.tylstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202331639299348481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-60185837288701201702015-08-26T10:40:24.057+08:002015-08-26T10:40:24.057+08:00Hi Steve

In your opinion. Is the Dahon BalcFoot rim worth to keep or more cost effective to change the wheelset? <br /><br />Lastly, possible to change a rear hub to fit 11sp cassette? Thank you.

Just search for the model name and you will see a list of sellers.<br /><br />I wanted to choose the hubs, which is why I got the wheels custom built. There are no fakes, just wheels of different quality. Usually it is 2 bearings for front hub and 4 bearings for the rear hub.tylstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202331639299348481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-2111764980558042262014-05-08T07:14:57.920+08:002014-05-08T07:14:57.920+08:00Enjoying your site!
