Oh I'm not bothered about it saying Shimano on them (or in fact anywhere on the bike). I think the Novatecs might be a good solution. An old boy round the corner had a look this morning and has managed to improve the existing ones quite a bit, but I don't really want to build the bike back up knowing the cones on the rear are shot.
Question is: silver Novatec hubs, or black?

just get a pair of novatecs at the same price.. i know they don't say shimano on the shell, but novatec is really good quality and it has cartridge bearings. far superior in my opinion (not necessarily in quality, as the cup-and-cone system is not easy/cheap to produce to a high standard, but in the long run [several years of use] you'll be able to swap the bearings easily and will have endless options, eg. enduro, skf, etc.)
