I'm going to be getting that standard wheelset of the moment - hope pro II with mavic XM719's

question is which hub do i go for on the rear? The front one is going to be QR with my Tora's but rear:
Pro II 135mm disc
Pro II 150mm disc

whats the difference? riding with hayes so1o brake on the rear and the frame will be a marin attack trail and/or an on-one inbred.

help? thanks

    well one will fit your frame and one will not.

    what drop out type do you have on the rear?

    135mm Qr or a 150 X 12mm through axle?

    ah ok i see now.
    why don't they say QR or 12mm then?!
    for the front options they say QR or 20mm and you can see easily with that...

    thanks nick

    another thing do i need to get a decent cassette for it? i've heard the lower priced cassettes eat the freehub? SRAM pg990 is the sort of thing needed?

    the reason they dont say so is that there are more versions, than just 2.

    and you need XT or above.

    sram pg990 cassette + pc991 chain = £50 which is an alright deal i think so i'll go that way.
