Correct. They DT fanbois are rolling... that's kinda the point of a hub
I have 13k km on 4 different Carbon Ti hub based wheelsets (3 disc, 1 rim), luckily, no issues so far.
Minimum bike categories required in the stable:
Aero bike | GC bike | GC rim bike | Climbing bike | Climbing rim bike | Classics bike | Gravel bike | TT bike | Indoors bike
Aero bike | GC bike | GC rim bike | Climbing bike | Climbing rim bike | Classics bike | Gravel bike | TT bike | Indoors bike
Really depends. I have 2 carbon-ti hubs with thousands of km's on both and no issues at all.
I guess in general Carbon-Ti hub is great. There is no denying that there are a lot of satisfied customers without any issue or failures. Having said that, it is also a fact that many recent customers have reported failure issues on the hub. It could very well be down to certain manufacturing batches that probably have sub par quality. Without knowing which exact batch have the issue and the root cause of the failure, my personal preference would be to avoid them for now. I do not want to play a game of russian roulette to test my luck
Could also depend on what rims they are being matched with. The failures I’ve read about here were on Farsport rims. I have them on Lightbicycle rims with no issues.survivor wrote:I guess in general Carbon-Ti hub is great.

Fair point. I guess it would still be all right if it is not pair with Farsport rims. Most probably pairing it with the Princeton CarbonWorks Peak 4550.
Saw this thread and didnt think anything of it, about 15000 km with no problems. Then out of nowhere while standing in my living room my bike made a loud noise like when a tire sets into the rim and this was the result:
These were also with Farsports rims
Back to DT Swiss for my next wheels I guess These were also with Farsports rims
