"I ride alone a lot. I want to think while I ride, "I ride alone a lot. I want to think while I ride, and usually, I ride very hard. I want to learn something on every ride, and I see all my rides as training. 

I want to keep my bike the same setup as long as possible. I use a massive amount of time on testing and choosing the right gear and parts, and when I am happy, I don’t want to change. Don’t fix it if it’s not broken."

The venerable 350 from @dtswiss loses a bit of wei The venerable 350 from @dtswiss loses a bit of weight, gets a facelift but some new internals and easier disassembly.

We’re big fans of DT Swiss hubs here but not everyone can stretch to the wonderful 240 options. 

The good news is that the DT Swiss 350 comes in a lighter, prettier package, but crucially, the hub now features the 36 tooth SL ratchets that were 240-only up until now.
