Ok thanks for the suggestion, between the top manufacturers (Carbonda, Speeder, Dongfu, Hongfu, Workswell, etc) is there one that really stands out or all they all good ?

What aspects make for poor hubs: Weight, durability, less ratchet engagement, serviceability, weather sealing?

All of the above lol?

Well, yes, I guess this is european skinny lycra preference.

Still I am ridding a CVA platform bike full open and trully amazed, but I admit, on fire road, a lock out on the bar would be great.

Any more reports on either the Ullicyc or OG-Evkin bars?  Thinking of ordering one, just wanted to see if there's any more feedback before pulling the trigger.

I got the light in the mail yesterday.  11 days!...

Shimano also patents changes with battery... Sram can patent "its" battery, "its" clamping and similar things, but I don't see why other brands can't use removable batteries... Shimano has its satellite buttons ( patented ones are supposed) did not Sram take out his Blips?

May I ask for a photo of the finished build?   and how is your impression of the bike? I am thinking of the 1306 although I would like a smaller steering angle around 67°, which I can't really find for hardtail frames with 100.

...the rub is bad enough that the wheel barely turns.

I tried contacting Speeder through their live chat, but instead of answering my questions, they just closed the chat.
