Will you be running fixed/fixed, fixed/free or just free? And what is the spacing? On One do a double fixed in 135 - no real problem in screwing a freewheel on a fixed threading IMO/E. And On Ones usually reckoned one of the better budget hubs. If a s/s only then personally I prefer a standard cassette hub - much easier to set up a good chainline.

Agree with the Hope...nice hub with the advantage of flexability of chainline over screw-on freewheel type hubs. If you wanted screw-on freewheel type...Paul Words are the way to go...beautiful and light.
DMR 6-pawl hubs are durable but a bit expensive (£125 for the hub and then £30 for the SS cassette body). The good thing with these hubs is that you can convert them from 9 speed cassette to SS cassette to 1 piece driver and back again. This means that if you want to put the hub on your ATB and then add gears later on you only have to swap cassette bodies.
