• Winter road riding, smashing through potholes, looking for cobbled roads to bring back memories of cycling in Belgium and some canal paths when time allows.

  • Dura ace hubs are the shit. Tiagra a bit shit.

    I expect 105 and above are better sealed than Novatech and I’ve heard of Bitex bearings spinning on axles. They’re ok for summer wheels.

    For your intended use I think you can’t go wrong with 105 or Ultegra. Just be aware they’re cup’n’cone, adjust them and don’t neglect them.

  • TBF almost every Shimano hub that I service fares a lot better with being neglected than anything else. Hardly any problems other than the pressure washer crew.
