I’m looking to build my first Shimano equipped road bike. I’m using 135mm rim brake wheel. Shimano has lot’s of really nice 130mm hubs in 11 speed. But not so many 135mm non-disc hubs in 11. Any suggestions or maybe a Shimano compatible hub. I’m not looking to break the bank so CK hubs are out for the near future.
Just get a disc hub and dont use the disc. It works perfectly fine. Centerlock hubs hide the disc option pretty well due to the design look.
There are tons of hubs- Hope and Bitex being a couple readily available brands, that are 142mm TA by default and can be easily converted to 135mm QR.
Or find some discontinued Shimano CX75 that are QR standard(though still centerlock).
