What are the purported advantages ,if any, of high over low flange from a mechanical or physics standpoint? Spoke stress? What is the largest flange known? I have a Schwinn Superior hub at 100 mm flange diameter,a German Pranafa at 90mm, an English Airlite rear hub at 88mm. At some point increased weight might "outweigh" other purported advantages. Will the experts please weigh in! Art-ever curious-Link,San Antonio,TX,USA
