I like the Deore LX trekking equipment. A rear hub would be FH-T670.
Quiet and bulletproof. I’ve laced them to Velocity Atlas and Velocity
Dyads.
For a front hub, I tend to use Shimano 105s because they are reliable and
reasonably cheap.

I second Deore LX! I had those front & rear until I laced up a front wheel
with a Kasai FS dynamo hub.

I'd recommend a set of white industries hubs if you are looking for
something more high-end. Smoothest hubs I've seen.

If you want silver (as in unpainted metal) hubs, the White Industries MI5
hubs are nice.

A T11 or an MI5 would be a great choice. They sure are pretty to look at
and they roll so smooth.

With cassette hubs to me it depends on how much noise one can finds
"acceptable" (hah hah) from the inherent design fof the ratcheting
mechanism.
The only real quiet ones I've heard are the Shimano's that have the self
enclosed thread-in freehub bodies and the ratchetless Onyx. You can find
The OP is looking for "a hub" for their Appaloosa. The Appaloosa takes a
10x135mm rear hub and a 9x100 front hub. The OP is leaning towards Paul
and does not need a dynamo, which indicates they are looking for a FRONT
hub. Paul makes two 9x100 Front Hubs that would both be lovely on an

Another recommendation to confuse you :)

As Bill said, depends on whether it's front or rear. A front hub is a tube
with sealed bearings, so while Paul hubs look lovely and I like to support
MUSA products, it's hard for me to justify the price there. Any old sealed
bearing hub is pretty much as good as any other, bearings being equal
I'll second the recommendation of White Industries hubs. Phil Wood is also
a great option if you want your hubs to last forever.

My Appaloosa is being built up with a Bitex rear touring hub.
Wheels are being built up this week - I'll report back once they (and the
bike) are ready!

I find the Analog review of the Bitex hub to be very accurate. They are
very close to the WI hubs at a small fraction of the cost. Amazing at
quality and price but with zero hyper around them.

100%. I've built a number of wheels around them and all are still going
strong, some not in my possession anymore. This includes several sets of
mtb hubs that are not coddled. The only thing I've ever had to do to them
is replace bearings on a front hub. Well, and occasionally clean and

The Bitex definitely seem to be the best bang for the buck, but I'm not
crazy about the indirect implication that if you spend top dollar for White
Industries, you're paying for hype, advertising, and pro sponsorships. In

It really just comes down to what your disposale income looks like, I
think. Freehubs and endcaps are all replaceable on Bitex. I now find DT
Swiss to be a happy medium (and I prefer the reliability /
interchangeability of the star ratchet + rebuildable nature of DT hubs).
But you're not get
I second all the recommendations for bitex.

Lots of great recommendations for hubs at different price points, so I'll
leave that point alone.

*I don't backpack, so a dynamo is unnecessary.*
Although I am certainly glad to have it, the bike I use the most for
bikepacking is probably the one I use my dynamo light on the least.
Probably because on multi-day trips, I rarely find myself biking through
the darkness for long periods of time
I think the real use case for using a dynohub while bikepacking is to keep USB accessories topped up. Yes yes, one should try to unplug while in the wilderness etc., but being able to access .gpx files or use routefinding apps like Ride With GPS is clearly synergistic with the traditional map/compa
For me personally I don't see the need for the dyno hubs. USB lights
generally have more available options, are lighter, are brighter, and don't
require a special setup (hub/wiring/etc). I understand and appreciate the
"I don't want to charge anything" view but the sacrifice is extra weight

Thank you all for the fantastic recommendations. The Phil Wood hubs look
amazing, and it appears they perform just as beautifully. However, I can't
find the touring hub that fits my bike/rim specifications available
anywhere so I will opt for the Bitex. White Industries seems to be a great
