I'm building up some new disc CX wheels and ordered 24h front and 28h rear carbon rims, just arrived and look great. Finally got around to calling Hope to order some hubs - they don't do anything in 24h disc. So, what's out there?
IIRC you can use 32h hubs but lace them twice as many spokes on the disk side (most stressed) to the non disk side.
Tune Hubs come in 24h and disc
I have a pair of Hope 24h disc hubs. 😀

Nice idea, I might give that some thought. I don't think it will work to offset drilled spoke holes in the rim though.

Was planning on something a little less spendy...
Tried ebay? You think Sokin (sp) might have some?

Hope will do 48 hole drilling for tandems, won't they? If so, job done and you have extra weight saving on the unused holes 🙂
Mavic crossrides are disc & 24hole & I have a pair in the shed doing nothing............ 😉
Novatec aare a good prie that's for sure. I've gone down the Tune road though, should be nice 🙂

Just spotted the circus monkey ones on ebay - I have a set of 32h ones on my CX bike and they've held up well for a year.
Mrs has 24h disc Circus Monkeys on her road bike. They're very light indeed, not sure how I'd feel about using them hard off road. Sealing is basic but functional and it looks like changing the bearings will be straightforward. Good cheap choice if you're light on your kit though.
I'm not light on my kit...
Pro 3's are 24h but straight pull
Novate - cheap lightish cartridge hubs. Been great this year on some monumentally wet filthy riding. Got mine from bike24.
I've got Tunes on my posh bike, Prince and Princess. The Princess front has been OK but the seals on the Prince rear are shocking, wrecked three freewheels in the first two years. Poshbikes service turnaround isn't very speedy either, although to be fair they did warranty them. Daren't take them out in the wet now, had to get a set of Kings for wet weather use. Not sure I'd recommend Tune for Cross!
I like Clubber's 48h idea, but fear it may be too late for you now if you've already ordered.
Hope Pro3 are 24h - well mine are anyway. They're very nice.
