Hub Reco Sought - Rear, Disc, QR

Tech Tech - What to Buy
1

Hola, my internet searching has only brought up a bunch of higher end products, so I’m hoping someone here might be able to point me to a mid level option to suit my slightly perculiar and specific needs.

I’m chasing a rear hub
28 hole drilling (j-bend)
quick release
disc (centrelock preferred)
Shimano HG 11speed Freehub
Black

I was hoping that a DT 350 would work (~AUD 300), but the DT website makes me think that there’s no QR option available for their disc 350s.

Hope Pro 5’s, and White Industries CLD are both pricy options (AUD 500+)

It’s for a soma buena vista build for my much lighter partner to commute around town on. So something nice, but an AUD 500 hubs feels over spec’d in terms of niceness.

Any 142 spacing DT 350 can be adapted to QR 135 with their rear QR endcaps. I had the same issue when I was building wheels for a similar sort of frame, where I had to buy a TA hub and parts to adapt it for my specific application.

As noted, a DT350 can be adapted. For a lower cost option I would see if bikehubstore.com has a bitex with the desired spec.

My QR Canyon Inflite wheels came with DT 350 hubs that I changed to TA to use on other bikes, so yes they can be made QR and are interchangeable with endcaps.

Thanks for the assurance that the 142x12 350’s will accept the QR end caps. I was confident until i tried to validate with their site/support docs then got a full case of second guessing everything.

Bitex is also a good shout.
