They do look hideous though don't they?
Hey there, Fo Twizzle, have you seen these?

Cool Hubs, not King,Hadley I9 or Hope.
Well homies lots of us have Kings, and Hadleys, Hopes and now I9s are takin the Nation by Storm but I found out about these puppies in the UK mag rag DIRT.
Supposedly lighter than KINGS Hadleys and Hopes, but still have large flange for strength and durability.
These guys have concentrated on the bearing system and preload saying that it is far superior to the above 3 mentioned, interesting.
Check out website details of speccs in shop catagory, interesting anyways..

Do they come with some sort of cream to clear up that aluminum psoriasis?
Those are the ugliest things I have ever seen.

Better dressed up...
Like any good clothing sales person would say, "they'll look even better on". So I guess once they're laced up a to a Mavic 819 and then have gold Hope rotors bolted to them they'll look pretty cool, yeah?
Or not...

I wonder how many homers will step up and be among the first to try these out then do one of two things:
1. have them fail, then complain, despite the product being new
2. use them and promote them all over the boards until something else comes along three months later, which they will be buying, of course.

tscheezy is sort of my film critic in that anything he hates, i must have; just like the movies that critics love, i hate, and vice versa. Thanks tscheezy!
cheers
...too bad the website gives NO info at all about the pawl/ engagement system. That is the first consideration I have when I am entertaining the thought of a new hub.

...either way, 48pt engagement is really not fast enough for me. After you get used to a fast engaging system it is sure hard to go backwards.
It's a crappy website. Most crappy websites force you to browse the entirety, even the purchase area, in order to gather even the tiniest amount of information. Stupid, really.jncarpenter said:...so apparently you need to deiced to purchase one before you find that info out
A 48pt, 7 1/2 degree of engagement is hardly anything to brag about.jncarpenter said:...so apparently you need to deiced to purchase one before you find that info out

They do look nice though.
