    That is very nice. I agree, the gray works really well! Low-key and stealth looking.

    Nice work! :D

    fantastic, front hub converts to 20mm bolt through really easily, and the rear hub is louder than anything ive heard in the woods ;) and have stayed true for ages, light also!

    Loud enough? http://www.pinkbike.com/video/56906/

    Maybe not as light as you might want, but it's loud.

    yea i have seen the link, i meant for the pro 3 and stans rim combo above your post!

    they are cheap, and very light. what is classed as lightest a wheelset can be?

    These are pretty lightweight, but pricey, but non disc hubs I think

    Could be lighter out there too, just haven't looked for them

    im liking the loudness of the supadrive hub! in grams 1500g is that lightweight? bearing in mind the poshbikes ones are very pricey. spending about £400-500 here.

    1500g is a nice weight. The Pro 3/Stans combos are not out yet but should be in the near future. Should be very light too! The ones with DT rims are pretty light themselves, considering the weight includes rotors
