I've spent the last hour searching through the web trying to find the Eastern 26" wheels, hell just the rear wheel, and I've had no luck. I know the eastern site has them listed as something they sell individually, but idk if there out yet to distributors.
Help anyone:cheers:

thanks

I ordered one a while back from Jenson USA; unfortunately the spacing on it didn't work out with my mob, I couldn't get the proper chainline at all, no where close and I tried all types of stuff as far as moving my profile crank inboard to get a good chainline....

I ended up using a atomlab aircorp s.s. hub and it worked out excellent... I'm not sure if I'm the only one who's run into chainline issues with that hub or not....

Any local bike shop can get an account with Eastern and you can order them through their catalog. I use their rear hub and I love it, the aircorp actually would be my only other recommendation. I don't dig the look/feel of a converted 9 speed hub.

sikkkkke. no 26" stuff there friend..


i got mine from my LBS. no issues with chainline using profile cranks on my atomlab. you won't be sorry you bought the wheel, the hub and rim are awesome. i've beat on mine for a year with no complaints.

one thing you will want to be careful of is if you plan on running the 12T cog, you should put a thin spacer in between the lockring and the cog so the chain doesn't rub the lock ring.

i thought it was BTI but it's not listed on their site. all i know is one of the guys called Eastern right when they started making 26" stuff and got on board i believe. Eastern is supposedly really good to work with from a shop standpoint, atleast from what i hear. give em a call.

You could probably get one directly from them. They are super easy to work with and are very helpful. I'm looking for Bryan's E-mail right now, when i find it I'll PM it to you.
