I fail to see how Primatos fail the "quality to price ratio"?
You are right, they're not the best hubs by a very long shot, and I know they certainly score very low on the hipster value index (mainly due to their low price and the fact that you need to be a bit handy to swap parts out on them), but at £50 a pair the "quality to price ratio" is pretty good. Mine were £50 about 5500 miles ago, dunno what they cost now.
You can't get Primatos in pink though, M7.
