As far as hubs go, it takes a -little- longer than a few months to
manufacture, from nothing, a geared hub. Also, there are no ISIS
spindles wide enough to produce a wide-isis, again it would need
designing and machining from scratch, something I don't think coker are
willing to do since (IMHO) they currently hold the 'cheap & functional'
segment of the 36 market and this would be prohibitively expensive.
