High Flange Hubs in 135mm good quality - without breaking the bank?

Hello from Germany beloved community!
Im looking for a pretty new hub. I want to build a new rear wheel but just couldn't find the right hub! Btw. sorry for my crappy english I am out of training I guess?

So... what am I looking for?

-classic looking high flange hub
-decent quality (should be at least serviceable)
-silvery silver or polished
-36h or 32h
-shimano compatible freehub (9- or 10-speed)
-available in europe (ordering from us would be a pain in the butt. taxes, feest etc.)

Thanks a lot!

I was going to suggest VeloOrange, but they are out of Silver. I have seen some of their products on some EU websites in the past.

I do not see the Grand Cru hubs listed anymore, but they had HF hubs and even a hi/lo rear. Maybe it is a pandemic supply issue.

If you're looking for a rim brake hub, in addition to Velo Orange you may want to see if you can find a SunXCD hub, they're a very traditional high flange look and have a distributor in both the UK and France.

Thanks! Hope looks good. I heard that "superstrar components" offer same quality but for a lower price?

Yeah, thanks! But bike-components only carries major brands. I thought that there might be also some good but unknown manufacturers?

The VO one look good. But I forgot: I need a disc-hub, sorry for that!

As far as I know: SunXCD got discontinued and got replaced by Grand Bois?

Hmm, not sure. If you go on the Cycles Grand Bois website they list their own house brand as well as SunXCD.

So you're looking for rear, disc brake, high flange, 32 or 36h, and polished silver. Do you need a thru-axle hub or a quick release hub?
