I see this a lot:

"The weight of tools don't matter to a touring bike."

Wrong. You pay for every ounce with your legs, and your food bill, and your tire wear, and your drivetrain wear, and your distance and effort. Even if you can't perceive a difference, there is one, and a lot of people on this forum who went "ultralight" realize that it's rewarding to reduce weight.

This hub is not obsolete just because you threw a tool in your pannier.
