Thanks, appreciate the insight. I have zero interest in riding in winter, so would the star-ratchet hubs still be worth it?
It looks like Mavic has something similar with their "instant drive 360" hubs. Any thoughts on how that compares? This is going to sound dumb, but I'm not a fan of the logo being plastered over the DT Swiss wheels (or any bike parts really), so I'm hoping for a cleaner looking wheel.
