Then he didn't know how to use it properly. Treger's hub isn't going to perform significantly worse than anyone else's, when used effectively.

Then it is not working correctly :)
Treger's hubs are composite versions of the Bernie Hunt design, and that changes over a range of torque. I know Treger's personal hubs do.
> the Treger hub is not the threat we believe it to be. It is optimized for Treger's flying style in the sites he frequents. When you take it into a Cat I site, it's totally out of its zone. I suspect it would be ok in a Cat IV site, but not Cat I or II.
When adjusted properly, Treger's hub will work well in all ceiling heights.

I'm not worried about non-BOMers being more competitive. My concern is that by eliminating BOM completely, or by setting the BOM threshold to allow built VP hubs, we are removing a traditionally important aspect of the activity.
However, if we want to assess the impact of someone succeeding with a purchased hub, my experience has been different than yours. I've flow with people who either joked about using a purchased hub or actually did. They were legitimate threats for earning a team position and for finishing near the top of the WC's.
