Tried and Tested: Odyssey Cassette
Odyssey Cassette

I’ve had this hub for just over a year now and I really like it. If given the choice between the Odyssey and the Profile cassette hub I’d actually choose the Odyssey because it’s so much quieter than the Profile hub, which makes a bloody racket. The Odyssey is also about £100 cheaper than the Profile hub, which is always a bonus.

I run a 13 tooth at the back but you can put 12 tooth Chris King cogs on them or buy the 11 tooth driver if you want. This will allow you to run smaller chain rings that are also conveniently lighter with more clearance.

If you're after a cassette hub, but don't want to spend about £200, the Odyssey comes highly recommended.
