Hi folks,
I just picked up my rear wheel after a hub upgrade and rebuild. The rim is a 36h Ryde Andra 30, the hub was upgraded to a Deore XT.
Now, the hub they used is a disc brake hub and I use rim brakes. In the LBS they'v told me there is no difference in operation. Is this true?
I imagine the hub will be marginally heavier, but that doesn't bother me too much. This is for a tourer that is fairly well laden.
As for the cost, I've paid what was quoted.
I haven't fitted the wheel yet as I'm not 100% sure about whether I should accept it, as is.
My only concern is that this combination will throw up some issues far from home.
I'd appreciate if anyone with more hub knowledge than me has any views.
Many thanks
