Maybe you just suck at riding?

I know a LOT of folks who freeride and do all kinds of ridiculous stuff (DJ's, etc.) on normal 135 hubs. Nobody has to replace a wheel every 3 months. If you've got a wheel, use it. That's what is great about going SS, is that you don't really have to buy anything new, you can just use stuff you've already got.
