    Strengths:    Light, dependable, durable and when compared to similar products - cheap

    Weaknesses:    NONE

    Bottom Line:   
    I never thought I would say this about a current XTR product but these hubs are very cheap, extrememly cheap when compared to DT Swiss and Chris King hubs which really arent that much better. These hubs take beating after beating and remain in like new condition. What more can you ask for?

    Strengths:    pretty light (without the qr)

    Weaknesses:    unreliable, weak - after 3 months and a few days the cone on the freewheel part got loose, and I saw that the axle is a cheap aluminum and can broke really easy

    Bottom Line:   
    The same problem I had with the 2008 xt rear hub, and I promise that I won't buy another Shimano in my whole life ! they s*x
