whats the choices of rear hubs

while my GP was running up on the dyno it was noticed that the hub runs out, its got a wobble on it, and now having ridden it more I have noticed that with light application of the rear brake you can feel it pulse, like a warped disc does.

going to look into it further, take it off, double check its all clean etc, but Im sure it is. if it was a problem with the cone fitting then I would expect to see it move left to right when viewed from the rear, but its doesnt, just up and down when viewed from the side

so whats the options, I have read not to use RAMP? ones

Im guessing that any genuine innocenti ones by now could be as bad or worse than mine

Genuine SIL ones are worth considering too.

Before splashing out o a new hub make sure it isn't just that the rim isn't sitting flat. I had that problem after a mat followed be and noticed the wheel wobbling. Naturally assumed it was a bent hub so ordered a new one but when re-fitting the wheel I noticed that it wasn't fitting up properly due to thick paint. The original rim went on another engiune and is still running true.
