Circling back on this - I'd rather not break the bank on this hub, have found two options: DT Swiss or Zenith.
DT Swiss, 24h, 336g, £79: https://www.singletrackbikes.co.uk/products.php?show=48211
Zenith, 24h, 289g, £40: https://thecycleclinic.co.uk/products/zenith-track-hubs-front-or-rear-24h-28h-or-32h-black-or-silver
Does anyone have any experience with Zenith? Obviously with the weight saving, and cost saving in mind, i'm leaning heavily towards this - can't understand why the DT Swiss one is so heavy.
Thoughts?
The Zenith hubs are nice, I’ve built a couple wheels with them including one just last week.
The hardware on them is a bit of a step up from your usual brand x, novatec stuff.
I’ve also got a set of wheels with the DT Swiss, they are very nice. Worth the extra if you can stretch to it.
