Can anyone recommend a hub with the following criteria (I could sacrifice some of the latter) please?
Below £70
Rear 135mm
Disc compatible (preferably centreloc)
36-hole
Cartridge bearings
Steel free hub body (or at least one that doesn't gouge)
steel axle
I've failed to find anything that satisfies all criteria - there seem to be very few 36h hubs anymore. It's for loaded touring, potentially 6+ months of continuous use. If I can't find anything I guess I'll just get a Shimano cup n cone. Any advice on which to choose would be appreciated (I heard so rumours that some XT ones for example are really shit for touring).
At that sort of price point I would say stick to using XT. Only other option is Novatec, as far as I'm aware, and that wouldn't tick all the boxes for you.
