I bought some early Deore XT hubsets, the 730 series, NOS when they were cheap a couple years ago, like $35 for a set; now they're more like $100. They're quite nice, but come with Uniglide freehubs, which is a pain, as I've discovered, unless you have a newer Hyperglide donor hub for the freehub body, right rear cone and seal assembly. The later Deore stuff looks klunky to me. Maybe an Ultegra rear, made for Hyperglide, would be a better bet.
