Advice on hubs for new wheelset needed.
I am considering having a set of wheels built up by Peter White cycles, for my touring bike. I have a set of heavy rims with T519 rims etc.
What I'd like is to have some that are a little lighter, and a little narrower to allow mounting something slimmer than 28s. I'm a clyde, and the frame takes a 135mm rear hub.
So, the question is: Of the hubs available, what are the upsides and downsides across the board?
Shimano XT
Shimano XTR
Chris King
I was planning on going with a 32 spoke wheel, unless they have other suggestions when I talk to them. Is the extra money for XTR, or especially for the King hub, worth it??
In some of the reviews I have seen, there were issues with drag on the King hubs, anyone have any experience with this?
