Thoughtfully angled flanges. This is a big one folks. Project 321 is the only manufacturer on the market to create a little to no-touch environment that allows the spokes to touch the hub only at the bend and nowhere else. This creates a more stable and true wheel and eliminates any unnecessary stress on the spokes. They have achieved this by matching the angle of the flanges to the average bracing angle of the spokes and remove any interference. On many of their competitors’ hubs the flanges are vertical or near vertical causing the outside spokes to make heavy contact with the flange creating a stress riser and reducing the strength and stiffness of the wheel. You can read more about this here.
Formed rotor bolt threads. Rotor bolt holes are formed which creates a much stronger thread than the more common method of cut tapping.
Easy to maintain. There are no special tools required to perform any maintenance, just a basic set of bicycle tools will do.
Machined logo. Hubs also feature a unique CNC machined logo versus a lasered or stickered logo.
Industry leading warranty. 10 years on hub shell and axle, 3 years on pawls, drive ring, and driver body.
