$3.99 for rubber hooks, outrageous!

I've owned and used extensively, True Precision, I9, Kig and DT swiss 240s. I can tell you that in my experience the true precisions were the best rolling and fastest engaging hubs of them all, they had the least drag and were exceptionally well made. here is a video i posted many years ago, before i knew what needle bearings were http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K76bQm6DOKI&feature=context&context=C40fbc78ADvjVQa1PpcFPmXtciJ_rAwrbOb2Qh4UPr1tbAyYR83uo= High engagment is nice but it isn't as much as a priority to me, as it used to be. Geometry and suspension performance have jumped to the top of my list.
