light weight, center lock compatible

"ticks" when braking hard

Bike Setup:
Custom build of S-Works Stumpjumper FSR
Bottom Line:
It's kind of difficult to really judge a hub. For the most part, the specs speak for themselves. This is a light weight center lock hub, and it does what a hub is supposed to do.
It seems to be the lowest resistance hub I've ever had, and a spun wheel will continue spinning for an amazingly long time.
I also like the center lock brakes, as they go on fast and easy, and seem more secure and stable.
I do notice that I get a bit of a ticking sound when I brake hard, kind of like you get out of a rear hub when coasting. It's not unpleasant.
As I said, this does what a hub is supposed to do. I'd get it again based on the light weight and center lock compatibility.
