Older Deore XT with cro-mo axles is a solid choice. Reliable, polished silver, easy to service.
The M780 Deore XT hub that I have has an aluminum axle, I would prefer the cro-mo. But on the other hand it cost $53 shipped and it's been a rock solid reliable hub for me. Besides the aluminum axle issue it's also matte silver which is not so pretty. Sometimes function wins over form though ;) On Sun, Sep 27, 2015 at 8:45 PM, Matt Beecher <[email protected]> wrote: > I've got an Atlantis set to hopefully arrive by the end of the month, so I > have started to order parts.
