Shimano 105 5800 silver hubs.

How they are C&V in design/look- cup and cone instead of cartridge. quiet freehub instead of sounding like an angry swarm of bees. flanges are the same size. symmetrical hub shell. Not super lightweight.

They are significantly better than old hubs because they are super easy to work on and adjust. All you need is a cone wrench and a hex key- you can set the preload a lot easier with this design.
Rock solid and relatively inexpensive compared to alternatives.
