Front 20mm hubs are very hard to screw up. So buy the cheapest one you can find...

My Formula was $50...

CK new for $80? Hook me up! If you can get one for that price, get it!

Most QR 20 hubs are pretty reliable. Formula, Hayes make decent hubs. But for $80, get the CK for pimp factor.

I have a Marz hub because it was cheap. I also use a slider. All 20mm thru axle hub's are the same.

I will be replacing it with a Chris King if it ever screws the pooch.

Damn, 80 bucks?

I can get a standard QR hub for $75, but the 20mm is $94 (shipped for both). My rear is only $154 though (204 with stainless steel driveshell and funbolt's :)).

teh marz hub should be just a relabelled formula. front hubs are pretty idiot proof, there really isnt much to go wrong. screw pimp factor, get the cheapest you can get

Its not, the marz hub uses larger bearings and is a little different inside.

formula, novatec and kt 20mm hubs are pretty good.
they're great and almost as good as a king if you put a good quality ball bearing in them. if you add the price of a taiwanese 20mm hub and new german bearings, it's less than a king.

ck hubs still rule.

For sure. I've had one for about 2.5 years, and the only work I've done on them is replace the bearings (after 1.5 years). That cost me $18.
