Default 20mm Hub

I am going to need to get a 20mm hub for my Giant STP DJ bike. I am better of getting an inexpensive front hub and having it changed out out look for a good used wheel with 20mm hub? Any recommendations if I go for just the hib or even am decent inexpensive wheel set. The rims on there are Sun SOS rims with some unmarked hubs.

I have a new/never used Sun STR8 Track wheel laced to a Ringle Jumping Flea 20mm hub I'd let go for $50. Just throwing it out there.

I'd just get a prebuilt wheel if you can. After deciding on a hub you like, getting the parts together, and getting them built (or investing the time to build it yourself), you'll probably have saved a fair amount of money.

What fork's going on the STP in place of the old one?

Marzocchi 4x and I shaved about a pound and half in the process.

I tried to ride last thursday at the loop, the ankle felt good all week in the brace, so I taped it up put on the brace and went for it. Bad idea, trying to hammer it just killed me. I was in a good amount of pain by the end and we cut quite a bit off. Its feeling really good I can actaully walk around the house with almost no limp and no brace but I am not pushing it.

As much as it sucks being off the bike, let it heal as much as you can. It sucks to have to wait longer because you got a bit too hasty. But then again, you know all about that, right?

G'luck with getting it all working better though.
