I'm contemplating replacing my elderly s/s rear wheel. What do the singlespeeders on here reckon are good hubs for the job? (I did read the superstar thread but am thinking of alternatives).

Aaaahhhhh....I wish you hadn't posted that! No! Too expensive!

A standard rear hub with spacers (Velosolo do nice ones!). Much better reliability than freewheels (even White Industries ones) and no real disadvantage. It even means you have a spare rear wheel for your geared bike if you need it (unless you're one of those SS-only wierdos).
The hope SS / Trials one is quite nice. In gold!
Perhaps a bit too soon to say, but I have a DMR SS hub that I bought from here about 5 months ago. So far it's been fine; never even notice it.
What clubber said, though I assume you are not interested in sense!
