I was in contact with Zoran regarding some hubs last summer. Seems like a decent guy.

Wow, 80 kilos ain't a whole lot. That's 176 lbs., or rather, basically what I weigh.
Must not be great carbon since 240s hubs and Aerolites are strong. They use the same DT parts in Reynolds wheels (DV46, SDV66) with NO rider weight limit.
