If I'm not mistaken, Campagnolo made HF track hubs from 20 spokes on up as standard run equipment on up to 40 holes. Scheeren made rims to match just to be nice, and there were others , too. I have a pair of nice nos type old Fiamme red label rims if someone would like them, 24X28, for a more practical riding setup. $50 plus shipping. I remember the guys trying the 20 hole stuff. Had to start pretty slow, and the wheels really loosened up. That equipment was fairly short lived, too undependable.
