I wasn't looking to use saturation as an indicator of durability in itself - otherwise that would mean that the J-bend Bontrager hub must be the holy grail in durability (heh).
Rather, a new product with relatively few end-users won't have a whole lot of trail time compared to something that's been around for years. You can internally test all you like but until these are out there for a significant period of time and on a decent number of bikes, the information isn't really going to be there.
When a friend and I were looking into these a few weeks ago, we found very little information that wasn't marketing copy. Nothing like if you were to look at something from the big players, or even the small players who've been in the space longer. In any event, he picked up a set and I picked up a rear hub - so there, we bought your product anyway!
