Looking for hub options on a new rear wheel build and it occured to me that no one ever recommends Shimano hubs. The usual supects always get a shout; Hope, CK, Dt Swiss etc but the worlds largest bike equipment manufacturer barely merits a mention. An XT hub is less than half the price of a Hope hub and about a sixth of the price of a Dt240.

So why don't people rate Shimano hubs? Just because of the cup and cone thing?
