Thank you. I thought about a sealed hub but I was trying to keep weight to a minimum but you know, if I can't pedal a few extra hundred grams or even two pounds of additional weight I should probably just walk wherever I go and give the bike to someone more deserving. It is not like I am Tour de France competitor or triathlete "shaving grams".

Now if I tried to put the sealed hub on my Masi Speciale I guess that would require some special spoke dishing of the rear wheel or I wonder if I could even get it to fit between the dropouts?
