Need front hub advice for ISO 349 10x100 disc wheel build
I'm a novice wheel builder designing an ISO 349 wheel to fit a fork with 10mm dropouts / 100mm spacing & mounts for disc brakes.
Can anyone recommend a bombproof hub + axle combination at a reasonable price point?
I want to bolt the wheel on for strength.
I also have a 6-bolt brake disc that I want to use (i.e., can't use centerlock).
Thanks in advance!

Double-check your measurements. Bolt-on and QR front axles are usually 9mm in diameter.
For an ISO/ETRTO 349 (16") diameter wheel, virtually any hub will be bombproof compared to the other components. I'd be concerned about building the wheel- in particular, the spokes will be exiting the hub at an unusual angle and will require manipulation to connect to the rim properly. Your wheel sounds like an interesting project and sounds like something I'd tackle. But then I've been building wheels for 40 years including oddball setups for recumbents and the like. It's not a wheel I'd recommend for a "novice" wheelbuilder.
