Like Rick Rolling or linking to DJT's Twitter, this joke never gets old.

I was thinking about that hit... kinda wonder if that wasn't the start of it and then a hot lap chasing Teh Canadian™ down the Gut finished 'er off.

Wouldn't surprise me.

The Nox I had on my last bike I heard a crack partway down an Apex descent but couldn't see anything. Found the crack about a week later after a few more rides.

Are they brown, too?

I'm not sure what color they are.

If you want all three: CK!

LOL, CK hubs might be many things, but not light!

Both 110 x 15 Boost. 55 g more for something that simple, great engineering.

Am I sensing some CK-hate? Is CK seen as a douchey bike jewellery for poseurs? Kinda like Tesla?

Caus' whatever. They've pretty much been the most reliable part I've ever had on any bike I've ever owned... ymmv of course...

Nope. I like many things about them, environmental friendly production in the US and great products. However, if you argue performance, they are not the benchmark. Reliable yes, bike jewellery yes, best part for the job: no. Proprietery bearings and a 200 € tool for a full rebuild while being more expensive than other options and heavier as well.
The ones I rode were also pretty draggy, which I think comes with well sealed hubs. So I am not holding that against them.

ah, ok, nevermind then! I haven't invested in the proprietary tool. I take them to my shop every 3 years or so for an overhaul. That part just blows my mind... which is why I'm very happy with them! Maybe I just need to ride more..
