• I'm torn between some Miche RG2 32h hubs on ebay for £70 or Hope RS 3 Mono 20/24h for £110 on the bay again

    Is there any point in spending the extra £40?

    Skinflints R us

    TIA

  • Miche are shit and Hope are overpriced. Get novatec or bitex if youre a skinflint

  • I’d let the spoke count decide. Hope sounds like a good deal, but 32h is better If you want them for touring.

    Also miche road hubs are pretty well rated, they use very large bearings that add to the weight but also to their lifetime

  • The grey ones? Buy them so I don’t! 😬👍🏻👍🏻

    And while I’m here - I’m also planning a 20/24h build as I want to try the DT Swiss Oxic 21 and have found rims - are Bitex ‘good enough’? I was also looking at some hope on eBay - I’ve already got a pair of 32h hope and quite like the shouty freehub for warning folks I’m nearby... any other options I should consider?
