Not true afaik. BUT our expereince is that CK hubs, in spite of their
really nice headset, are a $100 answer to a $25 question. I thnk DT
are a much better choice and I'm sure they have a Campag compartible
freehub.
Imho DT 240 doesn't offer any advantage over Record hubs.
Even a Record Hub + a HG spare body cost less than a DT 240 hubset with
Shimano body.

If CK hubs is a 100$ answar to a 25$ question DT's are a 99$ answar to
the same question.

CK's are rediculios expensive and DT's are just expensive. The hubset
to beat is Record +07. Half the price of DT 240, lower rolling
resistance and easyer and cheaper in matianence. The weight is similar.

I agree with everything you have said. If Campagnolo, Record, Chorus/
Centaur(2006 earlier) are our first choices. If shimano, DA(7850) or
ultegra. My point, in a field of poor aftermarket hubs out there, DT
are the only ones we use or advocate. Some just want the bling even if
there is no real advantage to them.


I do think that DT240 hubs are better sealed then Record hubs. I use
both. Record on my road bikes, DT240 on my foul weather bikes (ATB,
Singlespeed). I took a DT240 hub apart on my ATB after two years. I was
impressed how well the grease still looked in the ball bearings.
Record/Chorus/Centaur hubs are so easy to maintain though.
