PS onyx hubs are worth it!
Yeah, I've been really tempted for a while. I get that the silence likely won't be that noticed because of tire noise etc. but I still really like the idea of them. Not that my DT's are that loud since I only use the 18t ratchets.....

Curious about your wheels, do you have the 45mm set for more offroad type riding? Whats the spoke count, and how have the onyx's held up?

Thanks!
