    Don’t all bikes have hubs? I would think the tradeoffs between weight, drag, and durability in particular would be of interest to commuters.

      All bikes have hubs, but I guarantee no utility cyclist cares about how much backlash theirs has. An article about internal gear hubs or dynamo hubs might be relevant, but this? No.

      This is very much like posting a deep-dive article about locking differentials for 4x4 rock-crawling into a community about hypermiling and then trying to defend it by saying “well your first-gen Honda Insight has a differential, right?”
