Prices have rocketed to around £190 now…!
Just got a front and a rear for MUCH less than that.
Anyway, wife's Rockhopper (2008, £600) has a dead back hub – very dead. Was going to get a Hoop but £190 is just too much IMO (or possibly not). My bike mechanic is happy to build a new hub onto my old rear rim (DT Swiss 430 I think) but I need to keep budget sensible. Was wanting sealed but maybe not any more?
Needs to be six bolt, 32 hole disk. SLX seems to be centrelok only, XT seems to get a few bad reports and is old. What are Deore like? It's to replace an M525. Wouldn't mind something a bit better but i's not essential. The M525 is completely shot so can't revamp it.
Glad I got my Hoops when I did too!
