My new rear wheel will have a ss 12x142 Onyx hub
What is the pricing for that hub here in the UK? Is there a distribution here as well? Or did you get it directly from Onyx?
I had a Chris King hub when I used to ride trials a lot. It's nice but far from essential - far more important to have a reliable strong freehub design. The benefits of quick engagement are minor but when you're priming for a big move it's useful to have the pedal at a familiar / consistent position. Some people find this more important than others. I'm happy with fewer, more reliable engagement points.
Chris King are great because they're quick engaging and reliable. Most other brands with lots of (small) teeth are bad news. I can see why you might want lots of engagement points, but I'd personally never want to sacrifice reliability. YMMV if you don't use your XC bike like a pseudotrials bike.

I explained the wheel builder what I wanted and he's doing all the job.
You can contact them by email. Somewhere in dropbox there's a file with a list of prices in us $.
I can find it later. Similar price to I9, CK, etc...
