I am between these hubs for a wheel build on Pacenti SL23 rims (26mm depth). Which is best for stiffness with this build, durability, ease of maintenance and any other factors? Thank you for any advice.

I have DT swiss 240s on my Pacenti SL23 and love them if i did not of had the money for 240s i would of gone with the 350s ...forget to say the SL23 Rims are like a magic carpet ride i had mine built by Jon and the guys at Just Riding Along and had them built with Sapim Race spokes and run Conti GP400 IN A 25 MM and they are amazing was suprised at how nice they ride !!0

They are both very good... and both build excellent wheels... Hope are UK made, which might swing in their favour?left the forum March 20230

If you hanker back to being a child when you used to put a lolly pop stick in the spokes then Hope are the way to go ;-)
They are nice hubs just be aware that the freehub is loud (due to be over engineered, which is of course, no bad thing).Yellow is the new Black.0 -

One of the blokes on our club run built some CX wheels on Hope hubs, you're not wrong about the noise - a bag spanners in a washing machine on 2000 rpm*. He rates them highly.

Most quality free hubs are noisy... Campagnolo, Royce, Chris King.. they are all noisy... he is in good company... tell him to man up and start pedallingleft the forum March 20230 -
Go Hope. Noisy freehubs are by far the best way to stop that pedestrian who didn't look from stepping into the road...0
