Wow 146 grams for the rear 6-bolt disc hub, there aren't even that many front disc hubs that come in that light. I know it would add weight, but it would be really nice if Extralite would introduce centerlock versions of that hubset as I could easily see that making for a 1250-gram tubeless wheelset.

Extralite is rather limited on their hub versions. This SPD2 only comes in QR and 12x142. I had to customize axles for use in 10x135 and 12x135 frames.
As for the 6-bolt pattern, that's all they do, and ever have made.

Isn't centerlock a slightly heavier design? Maybe that's why we won't see a centerlock extralite hub. Just a guess...
Nice hubs. I'd like to try sometime but the SP-T is quite rare and expensive. I like the idea of triplet lacing 2:1. (I don't use disc brakes)

I'm curious about the SP-T if I may discuss one last thing...
If the total tension on the 8 NDS spokes is equal to or higher than the 12 on the sp2, wouldn't that result in a comparable or perhaps better lateral stiffness? Assuming radial nds and 2x ds.
Not looking at the hubs max tension, with 33% more ds spokes there should be up to 33% more radial/lateral tension available to play with. With 33% less nds spokes the low tension there needs to be upped 33% plus whatever extra tension needed for balancing the extra DS spokes. 33%^2 = 78%. It's probably within the nds spokes capability to give them 78% more tension, no?
Solid rims would maybe be the bigger problem as with only 8 spokes there could be weird things happening under such high tensions. Nds flange could be the next problem.
I'm just an amateur but I like to think about these sort of things...
