Shimano I know about.
CK is out of budget and not exactly quiet. WI would be OK but a bit pricey. Anything recommended - not too bling or pricey - to escape a shed full of Hope hubs?
Cheers.
My superstar switch hub goes silent all winter, not convinced thats a good thing though! 😛
Xtr?
EDIT: I've got an XT btw - silent as the grave (although a greased up Hope is an option)
Shimano I know ... I've got a couple of XTRs and they're lovely, but for this build I'd rather have the fit & forget of cartridge bearings.
"Quiet" and "Hope" only get used in the same sentence with "not".
The hubs in my crossrides are fairly quiet when compared to the modern trend of noisey hubs.
