If I can find the front hub for sale at Taobao, we could order extra hubs from China. Then we could lace domestic, alloy rims with Buchanan's custom spokes to the Taobao hubs. This would allow us to keep the stock, 18-inch front wheel as a spare, instead of dismantling the wheel to use the stock hub to build another custom wheel.
