I'm not criticizing the $50 price for the Suntour XC9000 hub, but I remember buying one from Riv in the early 2000's for...$20-25 USD which was a flat-out bargain. $50 is still more than reasonable for this classic. It is a beautiful smooth-running hub; so nice I had a local wheel builder friend lace it to grey-anodized RM-17 rims with an older 105 rear bought from Sheldon Brown at Harris Cyclery for my 1993 X0-1

Shifters are sold, hub is still available.

Before anyone squanders their discretionary income on bike parts…$25 invested in Apple in 2000 would be worth roughly $8,000

I don’t know where or when I acquired this hub, if anyone buys it I’ll include a rear XC-Pro grease guard hub in never built condition BUT, the hub had its axle chopped with a hacksaw, it’s about 130mm. It’s a freewheel hub

Are the Suntour QR skewers involved in this offer?

Skewers or not, I’ll go ahead and take them. I might convert that rear to an even narrower OLD. And I my convert both hubs to bolt on :)

Please do me a favor and DM me. I’m using my phone and it’s just allowing me to reply to the whole rbw group.
