What options are there for centrelock hubs in QR that aren't either boat anchors or cost an arm and a leg?

Also any reports on these without the brake track in UD? Will i die ? Haha

Thanks ooo very helpful. I did poke around but missed that one.

White IND CLD are the leading option atm. Will be on a Tarmac frameset with R785 and 6870 mechs as a training/kms/fondo bike.

I see that Light-bicycle expand their range of 28mm external and 21mm internal tubeless clincher to include 36mm and 46mm.
Anyone place order on those? I think i'll wait for 50mm+ and maybe order one.

Placed an order for a couple of 46mm and they have just turned up. Not had a detailed inspection, however initial impression are good (exceedingly well finished). We will see how they build up. Need to measure up this evening and get some spokes on order.
Slightly unusual, as i've gone for a stout build with 24/28.

Pics of braking surface as requested. Interior finish is fantastic, perfectly smooth and the rim cavity looks very clean.

So oppinions on the differences between LB and Nextie for road rims? Have plenty of mates who run Nextie asymmetric MTB rims and rate them.

I just noticed this......But those Light-Bicycle 46mm rims appear to measure a few mm short. Is that just the angle? Doesn't really matter to me just curious

Just the angle. My picture with the ruler was just for the brake track width.

I've just take my verniers (manual) to the rim and they are bang on 46 (28x21)
