I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a set of 4.5's with the Carbon-Ti hubs. Will let you know if the deal comes through.

Would you be able to share what FAG and NTN bearings are highest quality/most durable for White T11 hubs? I think indeed this may be the best hub solution.BdaGhisallo wrote: ↑Sun Sep 23, 2018 4:13 pmI have some FAG and NTN bearings inbound from Hambini for my White T11 hubs. I am coming around to the view that this might be the optimal hub solution.
Would you also know a good EU/UK wheel builder which knows how to swap/service them? Or should pretty much any wheel builder be able to do so?
Finally I am doubting whether to use Carbon TI or WI hubs, anything that stands out for you when selecting one of the two (they seem both top notch at first sight)?
Thank you so much.

Here is what I purchased from Hambini back in 2019 for my T11 hubs. This is for two sets of front and rear hubs.droitaubut wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 7:33 pmWould you be able to share what FAG and NTN bearings are highest quality/most durable for White T11 hubs?

I have since sold my T11 hubbed wheels. I just found the pre-load system on the T11's to be a PITA and really difficult to get adjusted properly.

Thank you, so in that case I am guessing you favour Carbon TI hubs, or also got bad experiences with those?BdaGhisallo wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 8:52 pmHere is what I purchased from Hambini back in 2019 for my T11 hubs.

I have never tried Carbon-TI hubs. Everything I have now has either DT Swiss 240 hubs or 240 internals in another brand of wheel.droitaubut wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 9:27 pmThank you, so in that case I am guessing you favour Carbon TI hubs, or also got bad experiences with those?BdaGhisallo wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 8:52 pmHere is what I purchased from Hambini back in 2019 for my T11 hubs.
