It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

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?"
