I have a [Vitus Nucleus VRS 2022](https://vitusbikes.com/products/vitus-nucleus-27-vrs-mountain-bike-2022). I have never been happy with the points of engagement in the hub. It’s my only real issue with the bike. The half ratcheting kind of drives me crazy. Same with the loud clang from when the hub hits the POE when pedaling. Recently my rear hub started making loud grinding noises. When I bought the bike, I didn’t have any knowledge about rear hub spacing or points of engagement. I looked at Pinkbike for used wheels and didn’t see a 135×9 listed. Does anyone have recommendations for hubs or wheels that would work with my bike? Thank you.

I was totally unaware that 135×9 QR is a hub spacing. That said, there’s a thread on /r/bikewrench about it…

It sounds like you can service it yourself depending on your comfort with wrenching on your bike.
Good luck!
EDIT: More info on QR 135×9 vs 135×10:
