I'm looking for hubs that I can easily convert, to recommend for my friends for low cost wheel builds. I know that Chosen makes the Stan's 3.30, I just don't know if this is the model.

I can see a few differences, especially in the rear hub. I don't even see those on Chosen's web site so it's hard to say if they are even actually true Chosen hubs.

Yep. None of the hubs on Chosen's site look like the 3.30s

I just took a look at Stan's site I don't see anything resembling the 3.30s on Chosen's site.

I could have sworn someone mentioned that Stan's hubs were made by Chosen.

I'm really looking for an inexpensive (read Chinese) hub that has the same end caps as Stan's or Sun Ringle'. So that they would be easily convertible.

Arent Stans and Sun Ringle products made in the same place?

I believe so, and I'm pretty sure Chosen makes both of them...I was more saying that the hubs seen on the Ebay page are no guarantee they are Chosen and since they come from China there is no real recourse if they are not.

The stans 3.30 freehub is stamped with a chosen part number.. Maybe that would help. I can't find the image but I've seen a close up of a disassembled stans hub not that long ago..

If we could get the part number that would be super helpful.

Irv_usc,

If we could get that part number that would make life much better. The Stan's and WTB mIght have the same internals, but I think the WTB (at least on the Black Flag wheel) is straight pull.

How loud are they?

You mean Stans and Sun-Ringle...WTB hubs are designed by Bill Shook of American Classic fame so they strongly resemble AC hubs.

My Sun-Ringle hubs by Chosen are louder than Shimano but quieter than Hope...sound also can vary depending on what you use to lubricate the pawls.

Still looking for a source for reasonably priced convertible hubs

Can the convertible Sun Ringle' or Stan's 3.30 hubs be purchased separate from wheel sets?

Sun-Ringle sells their hubs separately, the Dirty Flea models are most similar to the Stans 3.30 hubs.

I believe the fronts are convertible from QR to 15mm

I noticed recently that the Stan's 3.30 hubs showed up on Chain Reaction Cycles.
