Any suggestions on disc hubs for my CX - 32 hole, 6 bolt ideally - happy to use 135mm spacing (eg mtb hubs). Would like them to be comfortably under £100 for a pair but essentially, I'd like them to be cartridge bearing design, reliable and lightish since they're not going on an mtb. Brand name isn't really important.
I'll certainly have a look on the classifieds too but if there's anything decent and new out there I think that'd be my preference.
TIA

tomaso - not cartridge bearings, heavy hubs, heavy spokes. Which bit am I supposed to be interested in? 😉
less than 100 quid is the tough bit - you'll have to go 2nd hand I'd have thought.
Superstar squeak 100 with these:

whatever you'd buy for your mtb.
Nah, my mtb gets more of a hammering than my cross bike I reckon. I always get away with less burly stuff on the cx

my thoughts too... 😉
it's the rear hub that's tricky. Fronts are simpler, and a good s/hand buy but rears are more complex and , IMO, a riskier s/hand buy.
Having said that, you may find a tidy old Pro2 Hope somewhere....

Only trying to help.....
I think that's why he put a smiley 😉
Possibly but they're pretty heavy.
its that £100 thing again - spend a little over that and they get much lighter
I know - and that's why I asked the question really - I know it's easy to get lighter stuff if you spend more but where's the challenge in that 🙂
