Ok so ive found myself some disc brakes that are to my liking,
"Magura Louise Fr 2004" Both front and back, but now i need some wheel hubs.
Do Magura make hubs for there disc brakes or is there some sort of equivilant?

Magura does indeed offer some disc hubs. The hubs are made for them by DT/Hugi. One of my favorite "bang for the Buck" builds is a Ritchey front hub w/ Scraxle, XT rear hub and Ritchey OCR disc rims. Solid performance and not stupid expensive - around $325 (US). I have many sets out there now and no major problems. There are numerous hubs out there that will meet your needs. The least expensive I have access to are factory built Deore hubs and Alex rims. They are solid, but the rear hub tends to loosen up sooner than I would like. And the front axle is only 9mm. Not really as big as I would like. But they work and work ok. Around $125 - $150/set(US).

Mavic also has some complete wheel sets and they offer their MP3 program that allows you a no fault(Back over it with a car and it is covered) "warranty" for two years for 8% of retail price. Their least exspensive wheelset for disc is around 250-300 dollars.
