$130.00 | | Purchased At: | Balle Racing | | Strengths: | Fully convertible, 20mm, 15mm Maxle, 9mm and QR. Another Hadley first, the front is convertible.
Aerospace quality machining, choice of anodize colors.
Durable | | Weaknesses: | A little heavy. A bit too blingy in colors. | | Similar Products Used: | DT Swiss 240S, Hugi FR, Shimano 756,DT Swiss Cerit and Onyx. | | Bike Setup: | Niner RIP set up AM, Stan's Flows, X9, Thomson, ESI chunky, WTB Ti. | | Bottom Line: | Almost 3000 miles, 600,000 vertical feet, in 9 months. Service the rear every 3 months, nothing on the front, no high pressure hoses for cleaning, spins smooth as the day I got them.
Common sense and proper care, cleaning and lube service will make these last a long, long time. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$190.00 | | Purchased At: | North American Flyers/Lindbergscykel | | Strengths: | Smooth feeling, finnsih, strenght? and looks! | | Weaknesses: | Not cheap. | | Similar Products Used: | DMR Revolver Supergun (20mm) | | Bike Setup: | Giant Reign 06. Swapped the hub on the current front wheel, DT swiss spokes/nipples and Mavic XM325 rim. | | Bottom Line: | The machine bearings in the DMR hub had to be replaced sooner than later and when I ordered Hadley's rear hub I thought why not go with their front hub also. I doubt I will regret that decision! :)
Along with the hub you get complete 'blueprints' of the hub and partnumbers for all the possible spare parts you might need. (Hopefully never!)
The build quality feels as rock solid as the rear hub, when it 's time for eventuall service it seems to be pretty straight forward procedure.
Right now I could not be more pleased, I will make a new review if I change my mind! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
