looking for a new hub
im doing DH on a norco manik, i still have the original hubs, they're both cracked. I pushed up the fork to 8" so i need a hub mostly for my front tire with the (8" triple drop off 3)
i wont spend more than 100$ for my front
ps: doesnt need to be super light

BTW...thats just a standard QR...
Why not an LX hub mounted to a ryno lite. Should come in under 100$
BTW you do know that fork isn't 8"...it is 6ish...unless you mean you bumped THAT fork up?

For $20 more he can get XT https://www.pricepoint.com/detail/120...Rims---14G.htm
Of course he didn't mention what brake system he has but oh well.

k dudes im the fork is 6"travel, i know all that, but I set the hight at 8" and I cracked the tiny front hub, and my back hub. I really need the front one
less than 100$ for hub only!!
the bigger, the tuffer, the better, its for DH so i dont care about the weight + that fork weighs 1 tone
thanks

If you need a 20mm hub, go with the Marzocchi one. There is absoluetly NO REASON to pay anything more for a simple milled out piece of metal. For a rear, standard axle. XT will last Hella longer than just about anything and is light to boot. But if you want beefy. Go with a Woodman rear hub. Those are the tits.
