Hello
I m looking for some info from the smarter more experienced bikers out there.
I m looking to upgrade the rear hub on my 2007 stumpjumper but have no idea where to start or what to look for!
At the minute there is a shimano FH-M525 fitted,
Any ideas or suggestions would be a great help.
cheers
Heffo

I grabbed a set of superstar wheels for £100
Last year they get mixed reviews but mine are still straight and run smooth they have some real deals on orders that have been made up wrong eg different hub and rim combos to those ordered

The labour cost involved in doing a hub swap puts you pretty much in the same zone as a new wheel, add in there the cost of the hub on its own, and boom! Price of a new wheel.

I think that's the best deal for a wheelset at the moment, surprised it's still available and didn't sell out a long time ago.
