Question
hope hub for a touring v-break bike
I'm writing as I need some professional tech support concerning your products.
First of all, I'm extremely interested in buying one of your rear hubs [to start with then I would like to go with the front one.]
I need a heavy duty rear hub and use v-break system that's why my original thought was to go with Pro 3 Mono Hub. However, I started to think that, as this hub was designed with road cyclists in mind, it might not have been designed for dealing with large loads. Hence my question: should I rather choose Pro 2 Evo Hub [because of its rigidity] although I'm not going to instal disc brakes? This could spoil the looks, but I think it would work perfectly with my 9 speed Shimano XT cassette. Am I right here?
Or maybe, I can install the Pro 3 Mono hub without any risk of destroying it because of the heavy loads?
Important info: I weigh about 110 kilos [cir. 220 pounds] + another 20 kilos [40 pounds] of gear above the rear wheel. I ride almost only on asphalt roads but, as always, there are occasional bumps in the road or a short distance on gravel. I want to use a Mavic A319 rim and 700x40C tyres.
I would be grateful for you help.
