Samways
Strengths:
Compatibility, Looks, Reliability, Strong
Weaknesses:
Not the lightest hub. 20mm spacers can be tedious to use if your constantly removing your front wheel.
Similar Products Used:
DMR revolver, Shimano m475, Ovation
Bike Setup:
Identiti Dr Jekyll Frame, Rock Shox Pike 454 Air fork, Front Tornado Rim and Rear SAS. Blackspire stem, DMR wingsbars, DMR Zipgrips, DMR Expert Seat, Shimano Deore Crank, Azonic A-frame pedals, FSA gravity Chain Device, XT shifters and derailleur, Sram Cassette, Avid Three Brakes, Maxxis Highroller tyres.
Bottom Line:
Fantastic looking hub, it gets plenty of beatings and still keeps running smooth. The catridge bearings make it pretty much mantience free, and the spoke number goes all the way from AM to DH.

Strengths:
Sturdy, looks, its loud free wheel in the rear :), 20mm thru axle/ QR
Weaknesses:
none yet....will re-visit after product has been used more
Similar Products Used:
stock hubs that came with rockhopper
Bike Setup:
rockhopper, mavic 729s, BB7s, everything else stock for now.....
Bottom Line:
I'm 5'10" 210 and these things are holding up great so far. I ride agressive and with my size I have yet to doupt them. They are laced to my Mavic 729s (36H).....Then again its olny been about 4 months. On a none performance note, the rear hub(freewheel) is loud so if your looking for or trying to avoid noise keep in this in mind. Great versitlity with the 20/QR front axle. Will revist this after I have used them more.
