Subject: [CR]high flange vs. low flange

Hi all,
     I looked in the archives unsuccessfully for this topic, which has probably been covered adnauseum, but didn't find any info. So... does anyone feel like discussing the thinking behind Campy's earlier production of high & low flange road hubsets? I use both, & for the life of me I can't tell a difference between the two(when using same spoke hole # and lacing configuration). I'm guessing it was more a cosmetic-marketing thing, as opposed to genuine weight or "aero" issue. Strengh also doesn't seem to be an issue, at least in my nonracing experience. Thanks in advance for any interesting comments. Greg Brooks Ridgetop,TN
