I think dave enquired about the tune when building his wheels and they wouldnt warranty it for dh? He loves a good weight war so im sure he will come and clarify ....
for those guys saying that the tune stuff isnt up to dh riding then you should look into it more as nearly all there products were tested by a german dh rider who did a full season, national and international, on them
imo some hub manufacturers are slightly behind the times in terms of the range of hubs they do ie 150mm hubs ect in comparison to the number of frames that have 150/165mm rear dropouts
In my experiance the DT Swiss stuff, whilst being high quality are quite high maintenance, never used the tune hubs, but whilst in my LBS the other day we had a pair apart and all of the parts look and feel very high quality and it all went together well

Yea i rember him saying something like that. I think they wouldnt warrant a tune rear hub for dh
DT Swiss dh hubs are very very light. You can get weights off the spoke calculator on their website. They are very expencive though. If you arnt a brand pimp then Magura sell the exact same hub but with Magura written on it instead of DT Swiss a little bit cheaper.

Yeah they were designed for Markus Klaussman (sp?) who raced world cups on them.
