I’m looking at building up an AM/DH rear wheel, with a 150x12mm hub.

My requirements are…
– to be easy to service (preferably sealed cartridge bearings)
– to have a 6bolt rotor fitting
– to come with a steel freehub body
– to be 10speed compatible
– bombproof
– 32h or 36h are ok

I’ve found the…
– Hope Pro 2 Evo 150mm – £142 (CRC)
– Nukeproof Generator XL (2014) 150mm – £78 (CRC)
– Superstar Tank Ultra 150mm – £70 (Superstar)
– Hadley 150mm – £165 (Hadley)

I’ve got hope hubs on my other bikes and I’ve had no problems. But they are expensive compared to the Superstar Tank. The last Superstar hub that I had wasn’t great, but it was over 5 years ago so they may have improved, or not. I don’t know anything about Hadley or Nukeproof hubs.

Any recommendations or thoughts?

One of these for £30 instead?

Reliable enough for the price.

is a 150mm effectively the same as a 148mm boost – so many sizes i’m getting confused.

150mm is quite an old standard. Used to see it on a lot of big bikes in the mid-naughties. It’s not the same

Hope.
Reliable, long lasting and great after sales service.

Think I’d be tempted to buy a used Hope or DT240 wheel and break it up. Often the cheapest way to buy a hub, especially with 26er devaluation.

i have a Hope Pro 2 12×150 hub in Black for sale recently stripped my DH bike

Transition.. Im intrrested. Pics and price? Mail in profile

I’ve got a pair of unused spank spoon hubs the rear is 150 the front is 110, if that’s of any use, if so go on make me a light grey thursday bid.
