Hub Question

Eric St. Mary said:

I'm trying to decide on what type of rear hub to get; its either going to be a Chris King or Phil
Wood. I don't currently need the disc type for any reason, in the future, as these hubs are
supposed to last "forever", I may. Is there any reason not to purchase a disc compatible hub,
excluding the few extra bucks, when building up a new wheel?

I felt that way about 2 years ago. But, my riding changed and I now, I have discs front and back and
had to get new hubs to do it -- but _FOR ME_, it was a significant improvement and worth it (I
managed to get the hubs as presents for my birthday 🙂).

SO, I'd get them.

Now, I just wish that I'd gotten my Chris King rear hub in 36 hole...

Get a Shimano or Campy hub if you want it to last forever. They are going to be your best bets for
spare parts and overall design.

On the other hand, if you want something different from the crowd, either one of these will
work for you.
