Whats your opinion on Shimano Hone Rear Hubs?
Hello all there's a guy near me selling two brand new still in the box 36H Shimano Hone rear hubs for $30 for both. I was wondering do you think there worth the asking price? And do you think they would be good suit for a single speed dirt jumper?

if these are the same hubs, then it doesn't look like much of a deal. shipping price and delay would make it about a wash.

BUT you should use single speed hubs for a single speed bike. The Hone hub you linked to has a multi-speed freehub that takes up ~40 mm of the axle, making the spoke flanges narrower and offset.
Single speed hubs have wider flanges because the freewheel or freehub is much shorter. Wider flanges = stronger wheel, which is important for dirt jumping.

Ya I know getting a single speed rear hub would be ideal but finding a 36 hole SS rear hub is almost impossable to find at a decent price. It seems as soon as the single speed is added to anything the price jumps up.

I plan on getting a Gusset Double Six single speed adapter tho. And to be honest my bike is more used as a commuter with the odd time at the track.
