Seems to me the only weight gained would be from a little bit more material in the hub a slightly wider fork crown...longer axles and an ever so slightly longer spoke. On the rear it would just mean spreading the chainstays a bit....?. But if you can use a smaller gauge spoke and Al nips ..perhaps it would balance out(?) and we could benefit from the the *triangulation* effect??...even on cross country bike...?<br /><br />Have you had any experience or success with billet hubs?<br /><br />I know a guy with a CNC turning center and about 5 CNC mills that are just sitting most of these days.<br /><br />:-)Buzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238026358349706921noreply@blogger.com
