Interesting. I've been tempted by this 321 rear hub, as well as the Onyx, but the preloaders have kept me away. Having to adjust hubs half way through a ride is just stupid - and I had to do it constantly with one fancy brand back in the day. Quiet hubs are almost worth the risk of stepping away from the ultra-reliable Hope or DT benchmarks.
There's a battle raging in my mind between quiet and dead-simple reliable.
