I'm looking for MTB disc-brake hubs with cartridge bearings (not loose balls). (I'm not looking to
start a religious thread on loose-but-sealed bearings vs. sealed-cartridge bearings, so I'll just
say that this is a requirement for the wet weather commuter bike I'm building. If it's relevant,
these will be 700c wheels).
For <$250, I've found Grimeca, Hope, Ritchey and WTB hubs with cartridge bearings.
I'm intrigued by the WTB LaserLite Disc hubs. They seem to be lighter than others, with "relieved"
flanges. Any problem with a 200+lb rider on these? Anybody have experience, good or bad, with them?
I'd like feedback on Hope and Ritchey hubs, and any other suggestions.
TIA
