What XC Hubs...

Recommended Posts

I have worried about colour coding them, but black is so boring.

 

Maybe just some Silver hubs or the Gunmetal ones. With White rims and colour coded NIPPLES!

If I go American classic, I'll just buy a complete wheelset... I'm quite keen on the ZTR355's tho...

 

Interestingly the Dirty Flea hubs are more expensive then the Hope Pro II's.

Hope PRO 2's are a good solid hub, otherwise the new XT or XTR hubs are super reliable and fast rolling.

 

 

 

For the ultimate XC racing wheels save up for some DT 190 Ceramic hubs, super fast and ultra light with the usual DT reliability and build quality. I Built my wheels with these Aerolite spokes and DT 4.2 rims, come in at 1350g pair smiley4.gif

Have to second the Pro 2 option for your budget.

 

Am awaiting delivery of my pair from CRC.

I'd love to get the olympics, but I'm 80kg and ride hard downhill...

 

I've been reccomended to build on the 355's and run 3 cross...

 

Splat those hoops look great... you cant beat the fast look of red and black. No matter what the bike.
