Hub upgrade options

[Paulcon]

Not a huge fan of the rear hub which came on my Reign E+1, far too much play before engagement.

I’d love an i9 hydra as most people I’m sure but haven’t got a spare £700 for one (inc fitting), so I’ve been looking for something around £150-250, everyone seems to go for the Hope Pro 4, but I wondered if it’s worth the upgrade?

Spank Hex hub

I considered a Spank, but they only do HG and SRAM XD options, I need Microspline so would have to pay another £90 for the MS free hub

Above the budget listed, but the best one can get. Instant engagement, fully silent, and highly robust construction.

Very very happy with my Hope item. Feels really solid, and positive in use.
