Hey, sorry just saw your question. Any fork with an 1.125" (1 1/8") steerer tube should fit. If you're getting a used one, just make sure the steerer tube is at least as long as the fork you have in there now.

The rear hub is made for a thread-on single-speed freewheel so it varies with whatever freewheel you use. Also, you are limited to minimum of 16 teeth with this hub, which is the only drawback to using it. I heard that Chub may be moving toward making a single-speed cassette or driver type DJ specific rear hub.

They're awesome. Very light and strong. The huge flanges allow for shorter spoke lengths and thus a much stronger wheel with fewer spokes. These only have 32 spokes. I built them six months ago and haven't had to re-true them yet.

I built them myself: Halo SAS rims, Wheelsmith 14 gauge spokes with brass nipples and Chub hubs.

Thanks, I put a lot of thought and work into it. Although it's not the lightest set up, I think it's a decent balance of strength vs. weight.
