Still don't get why people put so much money into hubs. Yes, I appreciate they are nice to look at but they bring no benefits over much cheaper hubs. Assuming the cog/lockring is installed properly on for example a Halo hub then they give zero issues so why need more?
Understand it on a £1000+ build when all the parts will be top spec for the sake of it but I just can't see why the hub price should be a 1/3 or a 1/2 of the total value of the bike!
