Thanks Everyone.
I will check out the links.

Yeah, The frame is from a 1993 Giant Iguana, which is a suspensionless, cruiser-type MTB. I have stripped everything down to the frame and and building back up with drop bars and a single speed drivetrain. I am thinking about using the Sram S300 Single ring crank so I can't use a dedicated rear hub due to chainline issues. I thought I'd just use a cassette hub and a stack of spacers.- not glamourous, but cheap and easy.


So with that said, Does anybody have any experience with the Deore hub. I figured that since it's Shimano, even a cheapo one would be OK enough for a townie bike. I have seen the front and rear hubs online for $9/$26. I want to jump at it but would like to hear some opinions first.
Thanks again.
