IMHO I cannot tell the difference in DH performance. I ran DT350s (without the star ratchet) and Onyx on both my hardtail and my Transition Patrol. I do notice the noise and thats what keeps me on Onyx. Maybe the horst link on the Patrol is just too good? I 100% notice brake jack on bikes so why can't I feel this? Maybe I am blind to the down sides of my hubs and have just gotten used to them?
If Ryan is going to lead the people down this rabbit hole of hubs negatively engaging the suspension I praise the holy loam mother goddess of speed and steeze that he did not try to sell O-Chain.
Can we get some time trials from the good folks at NSMB? I purpose a head to head of Onyx v. *other to test if you can see the affects of hub engagement on suspension.
