I'm looking for a 20mm front hub and the DT Hügi FR and the Hadley seemed very interesting..

Question is simple : which one should I take?

thanks

Answer: Whichever one matches your rear hub, or comes in your favorite color. Or whichever is cheaper if you're on a budget.

20mm Front hubs are simple.. Couple of cartridge bearings, hub body, and sleeve. Not much to choose. If you like the bling gold Hadley hub, buy it. If your rear hub is a Hugi and you have an urge to match brands, buy the Hugi. If you're on a budget and one is cheaper, go with that one.

well said...I think that should end this thread. What is the ultimate sipper: Guinness or Corona is a far more intriguing question.

...too seemingly different beverages, and yet for some miraculous reason they are both so perfectly suited to sipping that I cannot explain. Guinness is like the smart young son that graduated law school at the age of 20, and is now on the supreme court, whereas his bastard child half brother (corona) has done little with his life, yet with the right constituents (lime) he can compete on the same level as his far more sophisticate older brethren.
I think to simply discredit the two for reasons of non-similitude is both foolish and pious. What about drinking the Guinness from the Hadley and the Corona from the DT?
Perhaps I would have been a bit more sage to choose Mac and Jacks African in lieu of Corona, however I would like to steer this conversation towards how a skunky brew with the addition of a citrus fruit twist can suddenly metamorphosize into something nearly divine. Discuss...

Any beer that requires a lime to be mildly drinkable needs to be put down like Old Yeller:D

I'd go with whatever hub as a better website;)

And drink Sierra Nevada in large quantities:drool:

My rear hub = Hügi.

The price is about the same, but as I can't find many reviews I thought it was better to ask whether one of the two has already had problems/...

I think Hügi has a better contacts and service so I've made my choice!

Thanks!
