Strengths: durability, very very smooth and it lasts!!
they look greatWeaknesses: 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.

Strengths: Fair looking, very strong and smooth, cartridge bearings, leightweightWeaknesses: nothing in my mindBottom 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.

Strengths: extra light (360 gr), smooth like butter, faultless, cartridge bearings, cro-mo polished shell.Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: Get one! This is an absolutely great hub -especially for that price (unbeatible!). Previously sold as Sachs Plasma.
The cartridge bearings are manufacturer sealed, so you don't have to bother about them.

from Copenhagen, DenmarkDate Reviewed: February 15, 2000
Strengths: Running smoothly and looks goodWeaknesses: Non so far, Weight ?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.
