can't remember about 24 holes hubs for less than £100. American Classic track hub (£100) and Zipp (£150) are above your price range
if you can wait then the mack hub is the obvious choice http://www.mackhubs.com

Very helpful, cheers! I'm tempted to go the Royce route but I've got a set of Novatecs on some Navigator wheels and I've been quite impressed.

the Novatec hub is awesome, for the price it is a steal they are not good looking or fancy but they are well made and have quality bearings inside.
I've used Gran Compe, Campagnolo Pista, Dura Ace and Mavic, the ones that I like the most are the Campagnolos.
If you are going to wait I wouldn't go with Royce, sure they are stellar but I can't see how they are better than a Mack, I know they use Ti wich seems much more like a marketing thing than real life gains. Build a fixed/fixed superlight Mack pair with holes for aero spokes, that's what I would do.

Actually, you're right, if I was going to up the budget (and the wait) I'd go for Mack over Royce. It seems that track hub manufacturers haven't realised that carbon rims are available in the 16-24 hole range most commonly. Perhaps the market is so small as to not be worth bothering with.

This is a pretty old thread, have things improved since? Are there any decent, reasonably-priced 24 hole rear track hubs in the UK?
I can see Planet-X still don't have any in black, and nowhere else UK-based seems to stock Novatec hubs.

I ordered mine from Bdop cycling.

Were there customs charges? I might try and ask JB to act as a mule for me.

I hope they'd fit
Anyone got a source? Planet X have the front in stock but not the rear. The only ones I have been able to find are Sp!n and I'm pretty sure they are overpriced at £100.
