Campagnolo?

Dt Swiss are my fastest, and I love how easy they are to service.

Campy are my favorite to listen to."shhhh."

Why no: campy and tune in the poll?

I really like my tune hubs actually. Nice sound. Light and have been very reliable actually. That said so are my campy hubs.

But my favs would have to be dt ratchet hubs. They just work and work and work and are so easy to swap small parts and bodys etc to match almost any weird standard.

Trying to update the Poll, but don't think it's possible.

I love my campy hubs, but I'll vote for DT Swiss because the ease of use, from service to changing from campy to shimano

Based on the poll, I say Shimano. Cheap, easy to work on, relatively light and for me, the most important point - quiet!

If you allowed Campagnolo hubs, then that would have been the favorite. I especially like the Record/Chorus/Centaur/daytona SILVER rear hubs from 2007 and earlier!

Good Luck

You left out Campagnolo....Both their 32 hole Black hubs and the low spoke count hubs in their wheels.

Not just shimano, but dura ace specifically... all other shimano hubs are totally ok but nothing special. I'd say Ultegra hubs great hubs, but not light. DA hubs are, however, quite special, being both great and light.

I would imagine it's probably the same between Record and all other levels of campy.. but I don't do campy

Given the selection, I'll say HED. Dead quiet. Smooth. My Campy hubs (really? no Campy in the poll?) on nucleons (yes, they're that old) are bulletproof.

For riding-Campagnolo C Record.

For racing and going very fast-Dura Ace.
