• Looking for some help selecting my next hubs for the LB rims I'm getting for my Isen Audax bike. The front will be a SONdelux dyanmo

    28H Centerlock, shimano 11sp freehub.

    My short list is:

    1. Hope RS4
    2. DT Swiss 350
    3. DT Swiss 240exp
    4. White Industries CLD

    For me I need the ability to convert the rear to 135 QR for the back of the Isen. Being able to replace DS spokes without a tool (i.e. able to take off the freehub).

    Any thoughts / pros / cons?

    You can do this on Hopes quite easily, although:

    • I would still remove the cassette before removing the freehub, mostly as you will need access to press in the seal when reinstalling it, so you will need a chain whip and lockring tool.
    • You will likely have to get the rotor off to be able to replace a spoke, so will need that tool as well (same lockring as the cassette?)
