What would your recomendation for both crack and rear hub be? thinking of those us ebay formula/deepv hubs to space out to 130 then something like strong light or something-again just something to work and give me as little trouble and work.....

they will cost you a little less in the us, roberto sells them at around us prices. if you can get aurp to build them he charges around 15 and is quite good.
