One up seems happy to release products that aren't for everyone vs trying to pack in every desirable features or offer a ton of variants to please everyone. Convex pedals, oval bars etc. I'm a 350 fan and these hubs seem interesting but I'm puzzled by the partial dt compatiblity. Why not either stay fully compatible or go with a...
