RS4 hub is not so loud (compared to my previous mavic), they’re ‘road’ hubs but I can’t think it’d be an issue given what you’ve said about your usage. Onyx are apparently silent
Hunt are likely rebranded novatec hubs on kinlin rims I think?

Hmm, yeah I read the RS4 are quieter because they only have two pawls instead of four. Less clickety. I am thinking about it but they only come as centre lock hubs. I'd like to use my 6 bolt disks for now and at some point buy some hope floating ones.
Bitex MTF10/MTF12 seem to be what I am looking for but they only come in black? Don't they usually offer silver too?

I am currently sitting at home all day with a broken wrist so I have way too much time to stare at bike parts.
I am scouting for parts for a 29er wheel set. I am no mtb pro so this is more for some fun bits in epping or bikepacking trips on the South Downs Way etc. If I can I’d like to keep them reasonably lightweight. 1700-1800gr would be great. Visually silver hubs and black rims would be what I am after.
I am thinking 28h WTB KOM i25 Light with some Hope Pro4 hubs. The only thing that keeps me from pulling the trigger is the apparently super loud free hub noise.
I can’t think of any other nice mtb hubs that come in silver and aren’t even beyond the hope price tag like Chris Kings.
Any other ideas or inputs? Should I just buy a set of Hunt XC Wide wheels?
