I want green hubs for a wheel build for my cross bike. I know hope do team green ones but I can't find any others about. Anyone seen any?

I have a set of (non disc) chris king R45s in green, CXP33 rims (black), black DT comp spokes. Only done a few 100 miles - they were for my best bike, but the frame cracked and I ended up replacing it with a road disc frame so got new wheels.

Would I be able to interst you in these?

I got 2 sets of their wheels, been pretty good to me.
A mate of mine recommended them to me as he has some on his DH bike (well over a year now) and they take a good battering by him, stood up to a lot and still going strong.

I saw some wheels on ebay (taken off a new bike) the other day with green salsa branded formula hubs: I doubt you can just buy the hubs just like that but that direction may be worth a look. (for the hubs and spokes, not the rims!)
[edit] found it, but the auction runs out in 2 hours and the front is 15mm. Ignore me! 😳

Saw those 15 mm salsa hubs but thought I'd struggle to find conversion adaptors.
Might try superstar.
Thanks

Mack? Hubs. Never heard of them. Don't think I can run to kings even if they last a lifetime.

I've gone for a pair of Superstar hubs (flame me now) Switch Evo in green and a pair of DT Swiss 465D rims to build into cross wheels.
Thanks all
