There’s something about the way CK are built that just makes them so satisfying to ride and work on. Hadley, i9, Hope, DT all make nice stuff but none of it lasts as well, sounds as beautiful or if you’re in to singlespeed with freehub, takes Fun bolts.
Having said that, I still prefer a screw on Paul Comp hub and WI trials freewheel for SS. Simpler, bullet proof, quieter. I guess if we think about SS with a freewheel, a rear hub becomes just a tube with two bearings?
