  • Sorry, just to be clear I was talking about fixed or fixed/free hubs.

    The road and mtb hub market is big enough to make having a range of models viable. The above is exactly why I don't think there are co's like hope, shimano, SRAM, campag, etc. offering a mid-range option in fixed options.

    Hope do some bloody nice SS hubs, I have them. Probably on the border of high end though.

    I see your point. Demonstrated by the fact that you can get DA and Record track hubs from the two big names.

    But I would still place Suzue Pro, Surley, Soma, and Miche in the mid range. These hubs are trying to be well made and well priced at the same time (not going to go into wether I think they are).

    Cheap hubs are produced with near total focus on cost, and high end hubs are produced with near total focus on performance.

    I suppose it depends on how you personally define low, mid, and high end. As well as the existance of a market for each.
