I can feel my idea of doing a budget build slipping away...

...not the first to have this happen, I'm sure. Still, there's no way I'm spending $300 on NJS hubs and $150 on an NJS seatpost. But am I cheap enough to go for that XT hub option?

I can live with moderate dishing, I guess. I'm surprised I haven't heard any opinions against those XT hubs--maybe they are indeed a great compromise.
