Anyone have a lead for me on a specific hub I’m looking for..

http://www.novatecusa.net/product/d502sb-s6s-x12/

No answer at novatec USA.. I’m trying to replicate the stock build on my surly for a plug and play type 2nd wheelset. The front hub is easily found but this rear is not

May go bhs if I can’t find one of these^

Any help appreciated!

I assume you are trying to have spacing the same for the disc brakes?

you could always build a diff hub wheelset and then use disc spacers to get the discs in a similar place as the other wheelset. Does not always work but if you can't find that particular hub.

You check ebay? I saw some on ebay similar to that, they have a different name but look the same, 192 wide, TA, ect

Exactly what I’m trying to do. Ezpz swap a wheelset for studded and back to snow etc. I looked on eBay also.. the numbers don’t jive.. it may be a dead end and have to try the spacers. Thanks

??? I need a 197mm rear. novatec does offer a similar pair in these:

exactly the same front but different rear

You can order directly from Novatec (ask for an email if interested), but there's a lead time (a couple months) and you gotta order a bunch to make the cost of express shipping (they prefer TNT) acceptable per piece
The hubs themselves are cheap that way, though - a little over $40 I think (NBK bearings)
502 is heavy (650g with steel Shimano freehub and steel axle) but also beefy

OTOH, it's not the only 197mm hub out there, every big manufacturer in Taiwan makes one or two
