Freehub bodies: Titanium vs. Steel
Seems to me that steel freehub bodies are where it's at for durability, but they suffer a bit for weight. Thus the aluminum and Ti freehubs.
But how are Ti freehubs different than Al? Are they simply used for marketing reasons?

I understand that the Ti freehubs do not suffer from the same gouging that the Al freehubs do. There also is a weight savings from steel, but of course the Ti are the most expensive.
