I love my Hope Pro ll hubs on my exsisting wheelset, however not had any experience of any alternative hubs, so I was wondering what other cost effective hubs should I consider? (don't have the budget for Chris Kings)
So what Tubless setup do the STW masssive run to give me an idea. Ta!
Hope Pro2 laced to Mavic xm819 is what i'm after as and when i can afford it!
Thats for proper UST set-up, Stans if not.
I have a front Mavic 819 on CK for sale on the classifieds-

I've got the Shimano XT M776 (AM) wheelset & Shimano XT hubs on my Heckler, love em! Are tubeless compatible too!
i have hope pro 2's laced to 819 ust rims on both my bikes and not had any problems in 2 years.
great setup for a reasonable price.
I've been running a pair of Fulcrum Red Metal 3 for year & they have been great. Just finished a new build so after another pair of UST wheels so considering a 2010 set, which are lighter this year.
But still can't decide whether to go for Hope/355, only thing that puts me off is the noisy free hub, faff with rim strips & I have a new pair of XTR centre lock rotors so would by centre lock hub wheelset.
Pro II and 819 rims here as well!!
my latest set are ztr hubs on crest rims, very light indeed with a good profile. the rear hub gives a nice buzz and not clatter like the hope.
cant say how durable they are yet, but would say not as strong as 819's but way lighter
