24hole rear hubTALL BOY

Does anyone know where I can find a good inexspensive 24 hole rear hub. My rolf hub has gone bad.
Question for wheel experts: Why not use a 36hDuckman

..and just not use 12 holes?...or every other 3rd hole? Been thinking how i can "get" an amclassic hub into my 24h 3.1 oem nrs rear...um..which finally exploded like all before it:(. It was heavy anyway, so no big loss. Figure with 24 highend spokes, alloy nips, and an amclassic hub, it'd be lighter then a typcial 3.1 32h build??(yes, i guess i'm asking for myself as well:).

Thanks duck

A nice man named Damon RInard has worked all this out, and even wrote an Excel spreadsheet to determine your spoke lengths. See:
http://www.damonrinard.com/36-24.htm and
http://www.damonrinard.com/spocalc.htm

For spokes, thorusa.com will sell you individual Sapims in whatever length you need, with no upcharge. Nicer than buying boxes of 20, and Sapims are excellent. I'd suggest the Race 14/15, or the CX-Ray if you're feeling spendy. C'mon, you only need 24...
