The one thing I don't like about the new hubs is the spacing (offset). Now that S11 cassettes are just as wide as C11, it's even more important to squeeze out every last fraction of a mm on the DS offset. WI bumped up the axle width to 131mm (like Alchemy), but instead of adding an extra 1mm to the NDS cap, they added it to the DS cap! The H3 Campy used to be 16/38mm but could have likely been 17/37 without causing problems (Alchemy's C hub has 18.0mm DS spacing). The T11 is now 15.5/38.5... which really compromises wheel strength. With the 131mm axle they should be able to run 17.5/36.5 easily (maybe even 18/36) which would be a big improvement.
