Suzue NJS for street use?
Nominal if ever track use, but how about street use? Do they hold up under normal use? Any comparison to say, a Paul hub?
Do they come in a 36 flavor?

loose bearings on the street = more maintenance needed. Go with the SBs - mine are 36h. This extends to both SB and NJS

I like them over the SB version as they don't seem to get loose ever. Never had to adjust the hub (except after a rebuild). I used to skid a lot with no problems.
Plus they're fixed/fixed which is great.
In SF the winter is really mild (just lots of rain) so its pretty easy on hubs. If you're going to be riding a lot in snow/slush/salt grit then the SB versions are probably the sensible choice.
36h is the only true NJS version of this hub.

San Diego's a dry place, so I don't have to worry about the rain/slush to much.
Though last Friday was a drencher...
