Imagine you can have whichever single-speed rear bicycling hub you desire; which would you choose?

Perhaps you'd want something pimpy and a la mode, a Chris King or a now fabled (whisper it) Razor Rock. Maybe you'd go classic in look with a beautiful high flange from Paul, or just plain classic with a Phil Wood, knowing that the only worthy freewheel is the White Industries ENO.

What when you imagine that this style of hub is the only one you'll ever use... fix it when it's broken, replace it when it's worn but always the same model, always the same hub. What are you choosing now? Could you live a lifetime with the skinned knuckles of freewheel changing, the knowledge that the perfect gear ratio is always a flesh wound away? Would that be preferable to one spent chased by the buzz of Chris King's beautifully anodized bees? At what point does the neo-retro become the just plain out-of-date?

And now, now imagine that this hub is the last hub you'll ever have; fresh grease when you need it, new bearings every couple of years but when it breaks you ride no more... what then?

Then it's easy. The Full Monty. A hub built to take the strain, it will still be spinning long after your legs have stopped. If you can draw some measure of comfort from that harsh fact, rest assured that this is the hub for you!
