Stan’s Announces Wheels With New M-Pulse Hubs
Gotta love the 214 P.O.E but my only gripe with these new hubs is the cost of a complete wheelset and the price for an individual freehub body at over $200 (£200 in the UK) which is ridiculous.
While the MK3 wheelset was around £500 (not cheap by any means for an alloy hoops) the MK4 (wits supposedly much better hubs) is in a region of a decent carbon wheelset from other brands.
I think Stans shoot themselves in the foot setting the RRP.

It is interesting to see how many people laughing at or get offended with something that seeks to avoid harming animals.
Yet the same people, if asked, claim they love animals, would be against animal cruelty and would never hurt or kill an animal themselves.
There would be a rage if this conversation mentioned killing and eating dog, but somehow eating a pig, cleverly hidden by meat industry behind the words 'steak' or 'ribs' seems completely acceptable. Just proves how we are socially conditioned to think selectively about different species and treat them as objects, not as individuals.
