Dt swiss 180 hub

The 180s are an evolution of the existing 190 hubs. By using oversized carbon fibre hub bodies and machining excess material from the metal parts, DT say they've managed to shave weight yet torsional stiffness has increased. The hubs run on smooth and durable ceramic bearings, with the rear using DT's Star Ratchet System. They're quick-release only, and available in road (no disc mounts) and mountain (Center Lock, though six-bolt adaptors are available) versions.
