There are a ridiculus amount of boutique road hubs, pampering the weenie wheel market. Alot of them with glaring faults, such as tiny (or too few) bearings, narrow axles etc. and the prices are still astronomical. Plenty hit the $500 mark dollar for a single rear.
I always wonder why the fixed market doesnt have at least some weight obsessive hubs. Having gotten into hill climbing on my average weight Bob jackson. I'd love to do a minimalist weenie fixie build. I already have most of the build mapped out in the back of my mind.
