I'll repeat what I said when they first came up...

Wow, this is the greatest day of my life.
And JFCOAMFC, allen key nuts? So you mean I can have a setup that any quick release hub can already be converted to for $15?

Also, please note, lest you think life should be easy when you spend more for a hub than a good wheel should cost, these have a completely jingus chainline (44 fixed, 47 free) that will necessitate doing something weird to your bottom bracket/crank setup to make them even sort of run right.
