Looking for mid-level rear 142x12 hub that can be converted from 135x12. I really need 135mm now but I might at as well be prepared for when I change frames. What's out there?

Thanks.

I have both Hadley and Hope hubs, Hadley is better and more reliable but more $$$, Hope is cheaper, simpler, louder, breaks with Maxle Light but is easier to convert between 135 and 142.

hadleys convert just as easily. hadley's aren't a ton more money, but are worth it IMO. pretty sure hope got the cracking issue resolved. but hadley wins on engagement.

Note: i have run both hadley and hope hubs. both are fantastic quality. but i prefer hadley because they have better engagement. and are much quieter hubs.

honest opinion: both are good choices.
