from Palo Alto, CA, USA Date Reviewed: December 3, 2008 Strengths: Don't know Weaknesses: This came on an Ellsworth tandem. The first time on the bike, we went 100 yds up a hill and the pawls broke. I replaced the pawls. The third time I took out the bike, the pawl race stripped from the hub. Twice now I have had to climb out of a valley because the hub broke. Ringle have sent me a replacement Jumping Flea. Based on the other reviews, I don't know whether to sell it while it works or run the risk getting caught out in the woods again. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Skeggs Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: was on bike Similar Products Used: XTR, XT hubs on my Blur. LX rear hub on my Cannondale MT800 tandem. They have all taken a thrashing and never broken. Bike Setup: Ellsworth Witness full suspension tandem. 24 granny, 32 rear. Too much torque for Ringle.

from Tuxedo, NY Date Reviewed: August 23, 2006 Strengths: They look nice, and the clickity-click of the rear hublets hikers know you're coming! Weaknesses: Just like it seems 75% of the people on MTBR.com said, the pawls broke after about a year or so of intermediate level riding. Bearings wear out fast too. At an MSRP of $250+ for the rear hub alone, there is no excuse for this. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Ringwood State Park Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: cambriabike.com Similar Products Used: Shimano, Formula, Syncros hubs? Back in the day, I might have even had some Suntour hubs, but I don't remember since NONE of them ever caused me a bit of grief. Bike Setup: Rocky Mountain Switch w/Marzocchi 66VF fork, Sun Eight Track wheels and (of course) Ringle' ABBAH hubs.

from Salt Lake City, UT Date Reviewed: March 7, 2006 Strengths: BURLY - a 12mm rear feels so solid and tracks so nicely. This hub compliments the solid axle with a burly ratchet and smooth bearings. The thing still feels new! Weaknesses: Definetely a DH/FR part. Not made to be light.

from Santa Cruz Ca. Date Reviewed: June 3, 2005 Strengths: Durability! I've only owned the front hub. I've had it on a bike since 93. I've rebuilt it maybe 7 or 8 times. (sharp knife on the plastic caps of the 'sealed bearings). It's been through I think 5 wheels? Still smooth as butter. Weaknesses: Paper decal lettering soaked up oil and dirt from day one. I'm really stretching here to say anything negative! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Tractor...
