I see the trials/SS Hope hub, but it looks heavy.
It's not really. I think part of the listed weight for that hub includes the bolts it comes with, whereas the regular pro 2 is weighed without a QR.
You could, if you want, make the SS hub a bit lighter, by swapping out those bolts for a quick release. It's not really worth it though.

Getting my singlespeed MTB up and running and need advice on a couple of bits. I'm after silver cranks (175-180mm) and ring and a wheelset, but know nothing about MTBs and what's available. Looking for cheap, but decent and as light as possible.
Any real options other than WI for the cranks?
What about wheels? The frame has an EBB and vertical dropouts, currently running QR front and rear. Hope Pro hubs with spacers? Does that chew up the freehub? I see the trials/SS Hope hub, but it looks heavy and is a 6 speed that needs spacers anyway...can't see the point for my application. Thought Novatec/Joytech would have something but I find figuring out what I need from them a nightmare and then can never find a stockist.
