Having had Novatec disc hubs, it's worth noting that they are really difficult to service yourself (should that be a factor).

I've serviced a pair and found it OK. Lots of work with a vice, drift and a rubber mallet.

Thanks. I was reading up on them after Fred posted the suggestion and I have been reading bad things about the bearings, support and getting spares.
Might just stick with the slightly heavier safe bet of Hope Pro 4's. I've got four bikes with Hope hubs on (well, three right now as I've just split one). If it ain't broke...

Thanks. Stan's Crest look like a good option, especially for a 60kg weakling like me.
Which Novatec SL hubs did you mean? SL seems to equal superlight which does not equal disc but I'm sure you meant disc hubs?
