What are you talking about? I've been a fan of Ringle hubs since the good old days when you had a mullet, a camaro, and a black sleeveless t-shirt. (last year) I've had some on my enduro since 05 or so. They're one of the best bang for the buck hubs out there imo. And LOUD to startle horses and hikers.
Coil Air is a real solid ride, especially with a DHX 5.0, which technically makes it a Coiler Dee Lux or something. I'd think about ditching brakes (nines are terrible), no-name shifter, back wheel (heavy threaded axle with weird offset I suspect) and take a close look at the condition of the crank/bb.
