I've had mismatched wheels on my SS for a while (Hope Bulb 20mm/Mavic 317 disc front & Mavic Crossland rear) and have been looking out for a decent deal on a rear wheel to free up the Crossland for another bike.

Came across this on the CRC site the other day - an [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=60888 ]Octane One Orbital[/url] hub, reduce from £55 to £20 😀 :

Looks wise it matched the Hope quite well, and at £20 for a hub with sealed bearings......well it would be rude not to!

Anyway I took advantage of CRC's good deals on DT spokes - £10 for 36 inc. nipples, and a Mavic 317 disc rim - £55 in all.
The package arrived this afternoon, and 2 hours fettling + a few cups of tea = a nice new rear wheel to match my front 😀
