A clarification: the hubs are 36 H and the plan is to build 4 cross. My main concern is which, if either, hub would be most durable with respect to spoke breakage considering my size. Intuitively, it would seem with a higher flange the shorter spoke length would be less prone to flexing and breaking. Both hubs were available in 1976, so either would seem appropriate for the period. Would appreciate additional thoughts. Greg
