Tune 170 Hubset
I noticed I could get a set of Tune MiG 170 hubs for about $430 shipped from bike24 in Germany. I’m 210 lbs. Or should I just stick with tried and true DT Swiss 240’s for $400? The pretty blue hubs would look good on my frame. Thx

i love those hubs, but at 210 i'm not sure i would do it. they have a history (maybe that's an overstatement, but i've seen reports) of cracked flanges

And they are also known to creak under heavy loads. I'd also leave them to the flyweight riders.

Thanks for talking me off the ledge. It was close.

I agree that the tune 170 would not be best for you.
If blue hubs are your desire, White Industries are an option. . . |

Carbon-Ti makes a better weight weenie option.

Recommended for a 210+ lb rider?

Oh, I missed that.
No. Get White Industries. Steel axle and titanium freehub. Better than DT. Another with some pop is Industry Nine. They can be ordered with steel freehub. |

Tune hubs are nice, but they don't play well with big folk.
If you want blue, get these, which are superior at any weight: |

Strong, light, cheap. Pick two.

Wheels mfg hubs for that price. DT is a good hub but for $400 that's kind of a waste of money when you can get the Wheels Hubs. Tune 170s are kinda really garbage.

$400 for 240s is a great price..be sure you get enough holes tho and/or a fairly 'stout' rim...just IMHO, of course..
