“Good things come to those who wait” they say. The Alienation Thrust hub must be especially good then, because I’ve been waiting well over 18 months since I did the product review on the prototype. It’s still up there as my personal favourite rear hub jam packed with features. My favourites are the reduced drag, by design and the interchangeable axle that will move you from a 10mm to a 15mm axle in seconds and you don’t even need to change hub.

The good thing is the prototype hub is still going strong, a testament to Alienation who make a point of ensuring everything is perfect before it’s released into the wild.
