Who makes 135mm OLN rear hubs (32 hole) without disk mount? I actually want it as a replacement hub on a touring bike. I know I can get a Phil Wood, but they're outrageously expensive - was looking for something cheaper.

Shimano have a decent range, the XT is a decent bet:

Might be worth getting the splined disc version though, the weight increase is minimal, price is similar - will add flexibility and improve resale value of a full build:

Actually the M8000 may well be lighter, 328 compared to 338g.0

Thanks. I eventually purchased a Hope Mono RS - considerably more expensive than an XT but considerably cheaper than a Phil Wood. The advantage of the Hope is that it has a full width 11-speed freehub, and so can accomodate 11-speed cassettes other than the Shimano 11-40 or 11-42.0

A good buy, Phil Wood not worth the money to be honest.0
