Nice ride. What size frame?
Stellar review. Scary about the shaft
The best part of the onyx is the zero drag of these hubs at speed.
Good question. For bikes that have a LOT of kickback, maybe. It depends on how sensitive to it you are, what type of pedals you're running, etc. It will also be more pronounced/audible/noticable on hubs with traditional pawls (ie not Onyx).
These are great hubs. The silent clutch makes the V4 Supreme super stealth. Pedaling out of corners always puts down power with the unique clutch system. I'd love to try them on my trail bike someday.
Mmmmm love me some ONYX
So good. Hopefully this brings on a new generation of silent hubs.
I love my Onyx hubs. Silent, they seem to coast faster than any other hub I have tried and the engagement is amazing. You really notice the engagement on technical climbs, way more control and confidence.
Sugar Wheelworks here in Portland laced up a set of wheels for me 2 years ago with Derby 35 Carbon rims and Onyx hubs. I couldn't be happier with a set of wheels. I will never go back to a loud freehub, ever, and instant engagement is a treat.
Only slightly racist...
I think have been using ti for the last few years. My endorphin is one of the first model years before they did.

Good for him. Long time coming. And not the last.
My latest bike purchase was heavily influenced by Brandon’s review. I’ve always looked forward to his take more than other site. Good luck on the next phase in life. Your thoughtful and thorough insights will be missed!
