Hi, I'm looking for feedback on a design I have for a touring hub. This hub is designed for use in areas where there won't be easy access to a bicycle shop if you were to break down.

The advantages are that there is a 1:1 ratio of spoke tensions between drive and non-drive sides, and also if spokes were to break, you can replace them without having to remove the cassette, hence you don't need to carry all those heavy tools with you. Further advantages are that it is compatible with Shimano freehubs so it's easy to find cheap replacement parts, and the overall cost is much lower than Rohloff, Phil Wood, or Hope hubs. The cone wrenches that come with it can remove that axle and the bearings, or tighten the lockring if need be.

Here are some pictures of the prototype:



Would you buy this hub? If so, what's the maximum amount you would pay?

Thanks,
Matt
