I have the Schwalbe Delta Cruisers. They're very nice. I got creme for my wife's bike and whitewalls for my bike, but my wife preferred the whitewalls so that's what she got.

As far as the hub, what's the problem? It may just need some oil--10W30 or ATF work fine.
Thanks for the pic. While I'm leaning toward the Col De La Vies, both os those wheel types look very nice in your pic.
As for the hub, the gears won't shift a lot of the time. I'm wondering if the problem lies inside the hub or is because the gear cable is kinda loose.
