The cost was lower than I expected, and to add the tubless kit to the others, there isn't much difference.
Does anyone have any feedback on the WTB laserlight hubs? I am not finding anything much on them. The advantage of the WTB's seems to be weight. Difference in cost is ~ $60, weight savings is about 110g. I have seen mixed info on the WTB hub's performance.
If I'm not mistaken, those are rebadged American Classic 225 hubs. I've heard mixed reviews on them as well, but nobody I know has come out and said they were the pinnacle of MTB hubs.
