Strengths: Quiet and very smooth operation. Rigid and light weight hub.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Great hub and so far has outlasted every Shimano or Scott hub I've ever owned. Virtually maintenance free and rock solid. This hub is beautiful both aesthetically and functionally. It's incredibly well engineered, very lightweight and very reliable.

Strengths: Looks cool. High Flanges build a strong wheel.Weaknesses: Heavy. Freehub died after 1 ride. Rear hub bearings were very tight (might loosen over time, if the rest of the hub lasted more than 10 miles)
Bottom Line: This is a review of the Kore Hoochie DH hubs. The rear hub uses a 3pawl ratchet that sits in the hub body. This seems like a good design to me, except that the freehub is made of soft alumninum. I am a 220lb rider and while climbing Moore Fun in Fruita, the freehub popped and shattered. This was on the FIRST ride. It could've been infant mortality, but after looking at the freehub design, I don't think this hub could ever be durable enough for me unless the freehub was made of Ti or Steel.
Bottom Line: It's going back to Cambria to be replaced with a Chris King.
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
