Strengths: noneWeaknesses: I noticed that the my rear wheel wheel is moving in the frame from side to side. I tried to tighten the lock nuts, but the bearing on the left side is destroyed. That after 2,5k km / 3 months of - I would say - light riding. Hub was used on training wheels, so no racing, riding only XC trails and road. I'm 78 kg, which is not too much I think. On one of my previous bikes I had training wheelset with Shimano LX hubs and they lasted several years.
Another thing which I don't like: the gap when starting pedalling from idle is simply too big.Bottom Line: If you need a durable and reliable hub, I would avoid this product.
Duration Product Used: cerova draha
Purchased At: came on my C'dale Fl
Similar Products Used: DT Swiss 240s, many Shimano hubs (XT, LX, ...)
Bike Setup: Pimped Cannondale Flash 29er.

Strengths: Holds the rim in place with the help of the spokes.Weaknesses: Slow engagement.Bottom Line: Not that impressed with the X9 rear the bike came with. I've only had it for a few days and about 50 (road) miles, but the hub is on the list of things to swap out. I can't comment on the strength, as it has zero abuse at this point, but the engagement is very clunky. I know this isn't a ultra high end hub, but it isn't a low end Shimano 425, either. Not skipping, just has a HUGE wind up before it hits.
If you are looking for a new rear hub, and you don't want to spend C.K. or DT 240 money, I'm sure this would work. It looks strong enough, I suppose, but personally I wouldn't get another one on purpose. . .
Favorite Trail: The one away from work
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$80.00
Purchased At: Came on bike
Similar Products Used: Shimano (most levels) and a bunch of others.
Bike Setup: Cannondale Flash 29er Carbon 3. As new setup except for handgrips (stock ones SUCK) and 700c X 28 road tires.
