Preferred NO*GAS brands and the reason Calvin likes them...

Hope MTB hubs: I've been building mountainbike wheels with Hope hubs for almost a decade now. I've used every major manufacturer's hubs and I feel that Hope is superior for a few reasons: value, serviceability and durability. I use Hope hubs on my personal mtb. The hubs are approaching the 8-year mark. Still going strong with no issues. This fact alone makes me confident in recommending Hope to my customers. Hope hubs are available in a myriad of colors. I have built them up for applications varying from DH to 29er singlespeed.

White Industries: “I recommend White Industries H2/3 hubs for road use. I have about 7 years experience with their hubs and I have two sets for my personal bikes. The hub design and spec are very well thought out and cleanly executed. White Ind. hubs are available in many different drilling combinations. The rear hubs come with a very durable titanium free hub body. In my experience, the bearing spec on the H2 hubs is second to none. These hubs come available in black or polished silver.”
