BC are these really 30 hole hubsets? I don't pretend to be the world's greatest wheel building expert, but I've never before heard of a bicycle hub or rim with a number of holes that was not evenly divisible by 4. That is, I've seen 24, 28, 32, 36, 40 and (for tandems) 48 hole hubs, but never 26, 30, or 34. Never really thought about this before, but wouldn't a 30 hole hub require an unconventional lacing pattern? Maybe this is an inside joke and I'm the only one who doesn't get it.
