Looking for a rear hub which:
- doesn't need a cassette tool to remove rear cassette, or straight pull spokes (roadside fixing)
- Is quiet and not clickty click click
- 32h
- budget < £125 (max!)
DT Swiss 240 was top of the list but I think they're meant to be quite noisy, or at least get noisy over time. I want something that will stay quiet.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Any suggestions?

If you're breaking spokes often enough to worry about road side fixing, maybe you should be considering a higher spoke count. Or stronger spokes. Or better wheel building. Or stiffer rims, so that they remain ridable to a workshop with a spoke out. Or packing a portable cassette lock ring tool.

More TCR contingency planning.

Have thought about portable cassette tool, but would prefer to have a wheel built that meets the above reqs so I don't need it...
