Favorite Ride:
Lake DeValle

Bike Setup:
Specialized Tarmac, Dura Ace components, Velocity rims with DT Swiss Aerolite spokes.

Summary:
I had a custom wheelset built buy wheelbuilder.com and bought the DT Swiss 240 hubs. I read numerous reviews on the hubs and every person I spoke with at the LBS loved those hubs. I was trying to find something wrong with them but had no luck. Those hubs have a great reputation bor being bullet proof.

Strengths:
DT Swiss has an awesome reputation when it comes to bearings and hubs. Good luck finding anything real negative other than those who nit pick everything.

Weaknesses:
None. Maybe price. However, they are DT Swiss hubs.

Favorite Ride:

Bike Setup:
Colnago E1, Campy Record

Summary:
I bought these lightly used laced to a set of Velocity Aerohead rims. To date I've put about 2000 miles on these hubs and haven't had a single problem. I recently had to replace the front rim after running over a rock and a close check of the hub shows it spinning smooth and like new. Very happy with these hubs.

Strengths:
Light and reliable.

Weaknesses:
Pretty expensive if you buy new. There are plenty of excellent hubsets around that cost less. I hear that you need special tools to take the hubs apart if you want to do any home maintenance.
