$100.00 | | Strengths: | durability, very very smooth and it lasts!!
they look great | | Weaknesses: | none yet, maybe a bit heavy but who cares, man!! | | Bottom Line: | i got the one made by SACHS but it's the same thing as SRAM since SRAM bought SACHS. I've been using them for over 1/2 a year and they're just great not talking of that they look challanging. the best from SACHS.

$40.00 | | Purchased At: | a local shop | | Strengths: | Fair looking, very strong and smooth, cartridge bearings, leightweight | | Weaknesses: | nothing in my mind | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano LX (SUXX) | | Bike Setup: | Merida MATTS COMP, XT brakeset, 7.0 shifter and grips, LX rear derailleur, mavic rims, Schwalbe tires | | Bottom Line: | They are Germans (Sachs) and it looks on them. Good durability. They ate the rims :) I changed my rims twice, but no problem with the hubs.
Buy them if you haven't got disk. Very valuable. Kills any others. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: February 15, 2000 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Running smoothly and looks good | | Weaknesses: | Non so far, Weight ? | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano Alivio which were very durable, but didn't run very well | | Bike Setup: | 7002 Alu-frame, XT/LX-mixture, RST Mozo Pro | | Bottom Line: | When I bought the hubs they had run about 100 miles and were on a set of Rigida DP 22 rims, the hubs has so far proved to be the better part of that deal. Any rider who is looking for performance shoulden't hesitate to buy SRAM hubs if they're an option. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
