I'm looking at these for a wheel build but can't find much info regarding weight, reliability and getting spare bearings, freewheels, etc.

Anybody got suggestions or alternatives for a disk only build with some DT Swiss XR4.2D's I picked up recently. The management will get overexcited if I spend too much which is why these seem attractive!

ive got a headspin rear hub on my DH bike. as rear hubs go its exactly the same as the next one, ie. 4 bearings, multiple pawls, stock bearings. sure its a bit heavier than say a hope pro2 but then the whole wheel cost me less the the hope hub and it works exactly the same. The only issue im having is trying to find a spare axle (as my DH bike has a floating brake which required modding the current axle and i want a spare for if i change frame or sell the wheel)
