Can't see the point in shelling out an extra £100 over an XT hub. Any other options to consider before i bite the bullet?
Hope pro2 evo
You cannas get a pro 2 they're evos now!
Nukeproof?
not much cheaper. Any reason not to get XT?
I've had XT rears and killed them (before I had a shop and mechanics to look after them but they're still a pain!).
Now I use Hopes (although the alloy freehub annoys) and next wheels will be American Classic - can't see how it can get any better than them.
I'll have a look around for a cheap pro2 hub then. Any deals around?
goldtech?

are they cup and cone and hopes are sealed bearings?
ps I've got a pair of black pro2's for sale for £110 (20mm front 135 qr rear)
XT's ain't quite what they were... Lighter yes, but less reliable for sure... I've got an M770 XT rear that's done probably 35-40 rides now, and it's on its last legs for sure. I've had it apart a couple of times for regreasing too...
Hope hubs... Well, totally servicable ain't they!
How much would you want for the rear hub alexxx?
selling as a pair mate, they are currently laced with dt double butted spokes onto d521s (the rear has a small crack in the spoke eyelet) but the front is ok.. very cheap set of wheels or cheap hubs 🙂 best price is £110 posted for the lot 32hole btw
