ISO Hubs (Chris King)
21/06/2006
OK. So there's no getting away from the fact these are shockingly expensive for a bit of metal most normal people would hardly notice. You could buy a bike for the sort of money these will set you back when built into a wheelset. But, they do perform very well, and keep on performing well, when other cheaper hubs have died. The buzzing from the rear hub is a little odd at first, but you soon get used to it, and you can pretty much forget they are on the bike. A worthwhile investment if you don't mind paying a lot up front, and just want to ride and ride and ride.
