I am searching for light weight white hubs with 20/24H drilling. It seems like Tune is the only option but they aren'y my favourites.

Suggestions?

Get the hubs of your choice and have them painted.

The new DT180 are black, but last years were white, you may find some closeouts on those. The only other one that pops into mind are Tune.

That is what I discovered, plus the white DT180s are ugly....maybe the logos can be removed? Still the price is hideous!

The Tunes look good and the weight is nice but the freehub makes so much noise that ear plugs are required. Wish they would fix that.

Just a heads-up, Tune hubs colours tend to fade with time.
I have seen red hubs turn kind of pink-ish with time.
Not sure if the white would yellow a bit, maybe not, but I think you should be aware :)

Bontrager make white hubs, find some cracked aeolus rims and steal the hubs? They are 18/24

I think the Tune hubs are powder coated(?) so no chance of fade there.

Also, Acros make white hubs
