Trying to find good upgrade replacement for formula dc22 hub
Any ideas? It's for a gt grade tiagra 2015. Alternatively, as I use the bike 80% road, is it possible to replace with a centre-lock hub and find an appropriate disc rotor to use with the existing spyre calliper. Just really looking for a way to upgrade with a decent hub. The old one is already out!

Ah nice one thanks for that. That's the bit of news I was hoping to hear i.e. not having to stick with purely 6 bolt hubs. Guess you just have to ensure the dimensions after using the adaptor marry up with the existing calliper?
They will. No problem.
Hope Pro4 ? 6-bolt & epic freewheel noise on top
Don't worry about the 105 hub being centre lock - you can buy centre-lock to 6-bolt adapters very easily. I am assuming this is a warrantly job? If not, then you are probably much better off simply buying a new wheel. With a new hub you will also need 32 or 36 new spokes (it's unlikely the flange height of the two hubs will be the same) plus the cost of labour. This looks like a decent site to compare hub prices etc http://www.stradawheels.co.uk/product-category/road-hubs-spokes/
Hundreds!
It's for the rear. Not talking Huns RDs. I'd be happy with Shimano 105 sort of ball park although the 105 seems to be centre-lock?

Front? Rear? How much do you want to spend?
Powerway hubs are dirt cheap and seem ok. Got some on some handbuilt wheels.
