Jenson has XT non-disc front hubs in stock if you want one:

And, of course, you could always use a road front hub since the OLD is the same.

I don't see any Shimano non-disc rear hubs on Jenson's web site but a disc compatible hub will work just fine.

Thanks! I suck at finding stuff online, I guess cause I didn't see that and I looked haha!

I see it isn't in stock at the Corona store (I live near by) but the warehouse must stock if the stat says "in stock".

Thanks again! For the info, my mind is at rest.
