Hi all

I am looking for a set of hubs with the below specifications :

- 2:1 lacing design
- Center lock
- ratchet freehub (preferably)

They seem hard to find, any help is already appreciated. (Yes, I’ve been thinking about dismounting a campy wto wheelset already)

I cannot comment on their quality. Only that they exist:

Option 2
Option 3
Option 4

FFWD also laces their wheels in 2:1 pattern. 24 straightpull spokes both front and back. They use custom versions of DT SWISS 180/240 and 350 hubs. And recently they have included a budget "FFWD Ratchet 2/1" hub option as well - my guess is this one if from a different manufacturer due to the DT SWISS Ratchet patent expiring.

I've had a pair of rims laying around for a while that are both 24H and drilled for 2:1 lacing. Been thinking about lacing them up with something like DT 350 or 240. But finding the hubs has proven difficult.

Has anyone had any luck in sourcing these FFWD hubs?

Been looking for the same thing - have a pair of Rapide CL wheels where I'd like to replace the hubs but can't seem to find any 2:1 hubs to do it.
