135mm high(er) engagement hubs
Can anyone recommend some 135 mm fairly high engagement hubs? Does such a thing exist? I'm not looking for a $460 instant engagement hub, but I would pay $200, give or take, for one that is much better than average.

Industry Nine has excellent engagement I have been happy with my old Paul Cassette RHUB which was made using an I9 freehub.

Plenty of options. for 8-11sp you can do an older King classic, they're going cheap even new on ebay. Just paid 300 for a nos set of 32h kings. Their r45 hub is available in 135, meant for road/cross/gravel and will do 11/12sp with the right cassette. White industry has a higher engagement and offer 135. Its still possible to find hope pro4 in certain color/hole combinations on clearance but the new pro5 I believe still comes in 135, if not their rs4 should be readily available. WI and Hope both have none disc options, king will have to be NOS for non-disc at this point. And as mentioned above, there's always i9
