Hubs question, if you please - I've got some Hunt wheels and am thinking about upgrading the hubs (partly because I'm a bit bored of the noise the freehub makes, and partly just more general boredom!) but keeping the rims, but am running a bit of a blank at finding any decent quality hubs in 20 / 24 (disc thru axle).

What if anything is out there in the more interesting / blingy type realm if anything? Any suggestions welcome!

What size wheels? Probably finding it difficult because 20h is generally considered too low a spoke count for disc brakes

Thank you, I had wondered if that might be the issue - the idea would be a replacement hubset for these: https://tinyurl.com/Hunt-50mm-Wide-Aero; I had initially been planning / hoping on getting a nice CK set, or maybe DT Swiss etc., but rapidly drew a blank. Would any of these Bitex actually be an upgrade (/ quieter) than what the Hunts already have (which I assume may actually Bitex?!)?
