But they are still being produced by one of the Taiwanese companies out of similar materials and bearings.
Now, if you were going to say better built and better nipples (Boyd uses brass instead of the AL on most of these), you would be making a better case.
good point Canam. i would love to have some Chris King hubs but they are expensive and will drive the price up a bit. The more that I read about the Boyd wheels, the more I like them, particularly since they are not $3000.
