I guess the more stupid posts I put up the more I'll learn, right?

Let me ask this last stupid question.. Why do people spend so much money on philwoods, paul, white ind., etc.?

And I did use bones swiss, I got the special editions that were rated Abec 9 just so they could boast about it.

We build custom hubs that are regarded as some of the best in the world if your application is touring, and we also build some sweet road and fixed gear hubs and we could drop in bearing sets that cost $50.00 a pop and up our price, or we can fit them with well made bearings that cost a fraction of this and see our hubs running smoothly well beyond 30,000 km.

Custom hubs are expensive because they are built in smaller quantities and in our case, hand made on a per order basis where you can request any spoke drilling and bearing set up to suit the desired use.

I don;t know what you do for a living but bicycles are my business, just like many of the other posters who have answered here.

You just need to stop asking the same question over and over and listen to people who know what they are talking about.
