I'm planning an Omnium Cargo build, and looking at hubs for the wheel build. I'm not going to use this bike for commercial heavy duty hauling, but rather carrying my kid (and maybe even a second kid at some point) + his bike + camping stuff around.
Dimensions are 15x100 and 12x142. I'm looking at
Sitting at the Alivio level the MT400 are obviously way cheaper than SLX, but they have steel axles where the SLX have aluminium axles. Is this something that matters in a build like this that will carry heavier loads than the average mtb?
