The rear hub on Jack's tandem is super-high flange. This enables spokes to be changed without removing the freewheel.

Who made those hubs? Did any other company make them?

Why are there so few examples of such hubs? Did flanges crack ... did spokes break more often?

I ask because the biggest pain with riding old bikes is changing a drive side spoke on the road.
