I hadn't thought of Middleburn cranks. They've gone to the top of the list, just need to find some going cheap now.
If those German Formulas had been silver, they'd have been perfect! Will have a look to see if I can see them elsewhere. Else it looks like a hunt for a second hand Hope trials hub. Though, for my purposes a dished Pro would be strong enough and given how easily the can be had second hand...I wonder how many freehub you would need to eat/replace before the Trials would make economic sense.
If you just want a cheap silver MTB hub, why not Shimano? 525s are under £20 if you want 6-bolt, or there are various iterations of XT centrelock still in the shops for under £40 and you get a steel freehub with any of them.
Thanks all.
