I use Soul Kozak freehubs in my own hubs, under license. It's a really good, extremely simple system, quite like the DT swiss, however with one moving ring instead of two. They use a steel freehub body that's bored out really aggressively to save weight, and a proprietary lockring. All the bearings are really beefy in the SK rear hubs, 6903s. I'm not all that familiar with the fronts, however.
thx - Soul Kozak use 20/17mm axle ? (edited )
No one using them?

Does that include the magnetic system you use, or is that your own design?
Gtinut: Did you ride them? How they ride in real world?
I did bunch of races on both bikes. MTB and CX set works like "I am behind you and let me pass" or "oh shit somebody is behind me". I mean coasting is loud but I like it.
they are simple which I like. Disc version has may look strange to some due to flange size but rear wheel needed same length spokes. Bearings are big. two 6903 at the freehub body thus 17mm axle
32/32 disc hubs, Notubes Crest with Sapim Laser are about 1404g - friend's set
32/32 disc hubs, AtomikCarbon XC rims with Sapim CXray 1400g - my XC race set
24/28 disc hubs, Gigantex tubular rims with Sapim CXray ~1400g - my CX race set.

Thanks for info - loud hubs are cool

I just saw your website. Really cool boutique looking wheels there! Just curious, what do the Soul Kozak hubs sound like when spinning? Are they Chris King loud?
