Personally I'd go with odyssey. Because it's odyssey. And everything goes with black, but colours get boring after a while

I've always heard good things about the primo remix v2 fa cassette hub...!

I've found that any hubs that use bushings in the driver instead of driver bearings, are top notch. The only thing I've noticed with these hubs, like the Animal Javelin, BSD Backstreet, Demolition Rolls, etc. is that the axle is too short to run pegs with the axle nut spacer/washer. If you have the washer, it then only allows about 3/4 of the axle nut to go onto the axle. And if you're running the aluminum axle nuts that come with the hub, you'll eventually strip the axle nuts. So yeah, if you decide to buy these hubs, just don't run the axle nut washers, especially if you end up running 4 pegs.

I agree with the odyssey, just for the reason that they are odyssey. Going to be strong, clean and smooth

Buy a freecoaster instead
