You can have it all though? For someone who feels faster engaging hubs make a positive difference on trail.
In my experience Industry Nine is just as reliable and easy to rebuild as Hope?
DT hubs are great with the 16t (20-degree engagement) but the 36t and 54t aren’t reliable options for everyone.
I understand why home mechanics would avoid hubs like Chris King and True Precision - as awesome as the hubs are - due to wanting and easily maintained product at home.
Hubs like Industry Nine or Project 321 on the other hand are really easy to work on (as easy as what you’ve listed)
On that note, there’s nothing besides the price that indicates the Line Comp wheels wont hold up as well as other spring/pawl hubs and they are really easy to take apart - 54pt or 108pt.
Not disagreeing at all with you preference for less engagements just noting that durability, ease of maintenance and number engagement points aren’t necessarily linked.
