I've just recieved my new RS Revelation today, included in the price was a DT Swiss 240s 15mm black front hub for a centre lock disc AND a six bolt disc adapter. I already have a Hope Pro 2 front wheel laced to a Stans Flow rim.

Does anyone know which is the better hub?

    Doesn't matter which is the better hub. You already have a WHEEL on the hope.
    Choosing between them is splitting hairs really, absolutely nothing wrong with a hope ProII front hub, great piece of kit.
  • Very true!

    What do you reckon a fair price would be to flog the DT on eBay?

    10p.

    it is only worth what someone will pay for it.

    see rules 15.

    Front hubs are very simple, hard to get wrong.

    It is worth investing money on a good rear hub, but front... meh.
    Why would I care about 150g of bike weight, I just ate 400g of cookies while reading this?

    I've not experienced the DT hubs, however, i've had nothing but good experiences with hope hubs, you can't really go far wrong with them, so i chose that in the poll.
