Can anyone spot any bargains out there or give me an idea? For a DIY wheelbuild to replace my worn out Deores (serviced/cleaned many many times!) on my commuter.
Disc compatible, 28 or 32 holes would be fine. Even old Hope sports seem to go for a fair bit on eBay, and while I can find tonnes of cheap hubs on clearance sections of shops, there always blimmin Shimanos!
No fancy axle options needed, C-lock or 6 bolt, 135mm rear.
Can't go far wrong with Novatec hubs there are loads on ebay for example these (which are the same brand superstar use)
Yeh, I've been looking at those Novatec plus A2Z hubs on ebay, bit of a bargain for ~ £120 pair and pretty light too.
Front ringle on CRc £15, bargin
Rear DMR for around £55. or hunt a 2nd hand hope
Superstars?
Deore?
Goes on and on and on.
There are Novatechs for £60 F&R on ebay IIRC.
There are a number of Novatecs on eBay. I've had two sets, the latest ones are running on my Tripster and have done some good miles. The more expensive ones are light - lighter than Hope, I think (as a benchmark) and come in at sub £90 posted - with skewers. Have a look at [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Novatec-Mountain-bike-DISC-hubs-D711SB-D712SB-408g-pair-Wht-fit-Shimano-SRAM-MTB-/280924800944?pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item41686c47b0#ht_2662wt_1285 ]these[/url] - from the shop I've bought from in the past too.
I've got a black Stan's ZTR front hub,had it on my front wheel for about 3 months,then bought a 20mm Maxle Rev,and had to change to a ZTR heavy duty ,yours for £20 delivered,can send pics.
