Hunt Gravel Race wheelset

it's novatec/ hubsmith (i believe) with kinlin rims. Hope hubs will last longer, Hunts dont have a great QC reputation - you could get arkane to build you with same/ equivalent (or better) parts and better built

I don't think those are Kinlin rims? As for hub failures, yes I've read they did have some, but have moved on from that. As ever, the package looks good, and support too.

I like Hope's pitch for their hubs and am surprised to hear they've had failures with their own-branded rim. Hubs that can be repaired, rebuilt, and re-purposed are a good thing imo.

My target bike is a Fairlight Secan and I see they have dropped Hunt wheels for their standard builds, which now come on Hope wheels built by Arkane Wheelworks — who I think are on here?
