a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: May 24, 2012 Strengths: Cup and cone, won't loosen up if you loctite it. Hub that's dedicated to 110 mm axle builds a stiffer wheel than convertible hubs because the flanges are more spaced out. Weaknesses: Cup and cone, bearing preload lockring comes loose unless you loctite it. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Presumpscot River Price Paid: $65.00 Purchased At: ebay Similar Products Used: Hope, DT Swiss, White Industries, Shimano XT Bike Setup: installed on a Reba 29er fork w/20 mm through axle, and laced to NoTubes Flow.

a Downhiller Date Reviewed: April 28, 2012 Strengths: None... actually being able to centerlock my rotors is pretty nice. Not quite sure what the other guys are talking about, you don't need Saint rotors. I'm using Formula rotors and they work perfect. The gold looks pretty cool too. Weaknesses: Hub came from the factory minus one ball bearing (Shimano QC fail...) Shimano requires a specific 28mm cone wrench to tighten or open the hub. Hub periodically comes loose (usually every month or so) and then gets rebuilt. Grease is always completely burnt and dirty (gotta love cup and cone). Really hard to retighten without overtightening or undertightening. Bottom Line:

from Wausau, Wis, USA Date Reviewed: March 26, 2006 Strengths: There are no weaknesses to the hub. Weaknesses: Except for the fact that you need to use Saint specific Rotors. But even at that shimanos center-lock system is a gift from the gods. Also the only Issue I could see is that I looks like you need some special tools to take it apart. This hub is great. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $70.00 Purchased At: QBP a distributer for the shop i work at. Similar Products Used: This is my first 20mm hub Bike Setup: ss chucker on last legs.
