I have a 2008 EX-8 (green) with the Race Lite wheels, and I'd like to know if the hubs can be replaced with some that have more engagement or do you have to replace the entire wheel assembly. I wouldn't mind springing for a set of copper spokes and Chris King hubs if I had to, I like to "ratchet" the cranks!!

The rim and spokes are the consumable parts of the wheels. Not usually cost effective or practical to lace to a new hub.

If you want a different hub, get a whole new wheel. Sell the old one or keep as a backup.
