Is that a Factor single speed hub that came with your Zerode? How does the engagement compare to other hubs you've ridden?

I see an eye wateringly expensive Onyx ss hub in your future.

Doesn't look like much has changed over the years from the older models of XT wheels. The shimano geoblock isn't going to help any either.

While I understand the appeal of the silent Onyx (I really, really do), for a dually would a lighter weight hub (ie: a P321 SS rear hub) be preferable? From memory even the Cam Zink special Onyx was fairly hefty, and also has a similarly reduced size sprag to the Vesper hubs, which have had some mixed reviews regarding slippage in high-torque scenarios so far...Not that I've been looking or anything...

Looking at about $660 Aussie shipped for the Project 321 vs about $785 for the Onyx.
Weight wise the Onyx Cam Zink (the lighter of the 2 linked) is just under 400g and the Project 321 is about 285g.
I found the extra weight of a quality hub was more than made up for by how much better they rolled (No drag). With the extra weight being closer to the axle it isn't as noticeable as further out on the wheel. As in if you strapped 200 gm to the your hub it is less noticeable than strapping the 200gms to the outer diameter of the tyre. I've only run true precision stealth and I'll admit they are heavy but the extra weight to me was more than made up for by less drag and increased roll. The problem is now every other hub I use the noise is now amplified.

I will NEVER opt for lighter if I think there is a compromise involved in any way....certainly not with hubs, that I want to perform day in/day out without giving them a thought.
Disclaimer...I’m not at the pointy end of racing, and unless a bike is a bloated tank, I couldn’t give a cuss about weight.
