    ritchey p27.5 - build thread - my first mtb

    I've heard lots of good things about Hope hubs. I built up Stans Arch EX's laced to Chris King hubs and I can't fault them. I also looked at Tune, but hadn't heard too much about their MTB hubs so err'd on the side of caution. I don't think you could go wrong with either Hope or King.

    Thoughts on Stan's 3.30 hubs

    I had/have a set of Arch 29er wheels with 3.30 hubs. I built up a new pair of wheels using King hubs with Arch rims after my experience with them. In 6 months I had the cassette body bearing fail twice, needed a replacement skewer and also had to put in a new pawl kit because one off the springs...
