[#7734232]

I'm about to buy 2 of these for my Giant defy.
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/velocity-rims-aileron-road-disc-brake-rim/

I'm 95kg and need a pair of hubs. They need to be for disc wheels and 6 bolt. Any recommendations?

The bike covers 100 tarmac miles a week on average.

I have King, hope and novatec. I'd put novatec on a road based bike. Cheap, cartridge bearings and quiet.

I like my hope pro2 evo's.. The kind of hubs that can be converted and serviced pretty easy But they are a bit noisy, I like them, but some of my friends moan about them as they sound pretty ratchety when walking with the bike.

Mattyfez I've got them on a Mountain Bike And you are right about the noise. I'm crossing them off my list. Apparently pro 4's ain't that loud but pro 2's are annoying.

DT Swiss no doubt. 350 are excellent value, 240 if you can afford them...
