If you buy them, i'll include the battery...
Front hub is smaller but still looks ridiculous up close and is silly light!

I've got a pair of these brand new, never used, never built Chub Hubs sat on my desk at home wanting a good home - unwanted competition prize (i don't own anything without a 20mm bolt through front axle...)
Chub hubs feature a unique oversized carbon centre hub body, combined with huge aluminium flanges that reduce wind up in the hub shell as well as reducing peak spoke tension on the drive side by up to 70 per cent.
It also has the advantage of creating a very lightweight, yet super rigid structure that increases torsional stiffness and fatigue life. Hubs come with 6Al/4V titanium hardware, and 15mm rear bolt through axles.
The Chub hubs are a 32h MTB singlespeed pair with ISO six-bolt disc mounts and a screw on freewheel - note this is NOT included.
Looking at http://www.bikebiz.com/news/29934/Jungle-products-take-on-Chub-hubs-range gives the info above - also a review here http://reviews.mtbr.com/blog/chub-hub-pro-review/ but US based...
Current pricing is £124.99 for the front and £165.99 for the back so I'm looking for no less than £200 for the pair. I'd rather not split them, unless there are two people on here that are happy with one each and the total adds up to £200. So if you want one, and not both, then i'll hold them for you until someone buys the other one, unless someone offers me the money for both!
I'd prefer paypal payment - postage to anywhere in UK free of charge (next day if i'm at home)
Any questions - drop me a message.
Cheers

Is that a Paul's components rear mech? or some kind of chain tensioner?

I wouldn't risk it as no rim will be the same, so you may end up having to have some spokes of different tensions which leads to odd spoke tensions and a wheel that doesn't last as long. I would definitely use new nipples even if you have to use old spokes especially if they are alu ones...
Once you've built one wheel from scratch you'll wonder why you took them to the shops!
Sounds like if you are using ceramic rims, you're using rim brakes so even more important to get the wheel completely straight.
If you are worried about how to do it, there are some great online articles about how to build a wheel, and also you can use another wheel as a "template" to copy.
Hope that helps

Depends on what you are wanting to do - lots of short rides, or 1 long one as has already been suggested. However, if you are wanting the former - then North York Moors has some of the best singletrack in the country IMO... Post back for more info.

Still for sale - You have a PM about the front hub.
