I am fed up with trying to set the cones on my Shimano hubs.

I would like to upgrade to a set up with cartridge bearings.

The spec required is

26" 32 hole 135 QR axle.

Don't care how noisy or quiet it is, needs to be strong as i tend to jump a lot or mostly Gravity trails.

I would love a Hope Pro 2 but i don't have £140 deep pockets so suggestions around £80 - £100 would be ideal.

Must be Black also.

It would be laced to an Alex FR30 Rim so potentially i could go for a new wheel as thats not the worlds most amazing rim.

Tubeless is not a requirement either.

Superstar. Now that they have stopped using cheese for the bearings and are instead using SKF they are pretty decent. Have a look at their Tank hubs: http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/s ... tain-hubs/
