Ask them for the matching rear hub, they will sell it for 99 dollars +6.50 to ship. THe retail on onyx is usally much higher. Ive built 2 wheels of that front hub.
Seriously though, get something better than XT. At least Jujus, they are disc ready, and the life expectancy is much longer
Funny thing is, my friend is running the same front hub, and I was looking at that set of hubs myself!! He couldn't believe me when I told him I could get that hub for 20 bucks!!! He paid over 100 off some guy who split a set
I'll probably get at least a sealed cartridge bearing hub set and get my LBS to put it on 717s or something similar in the Sun line up
