Strengths: when it works, it works fineWeaknesses: less than 30 rides in and the freehub body stopped working and i couldn't pedal. it would kick in and out. LBS took it out, nothing worn or broken, cleaned it up and put it back together and it worked for a day before breaking again. serviced again, and after 1 ride is still working, but i'm looking for a replacement asap. very annoyed because it's not covered under warranty. avoid.Bottom Line: don't buy. expensive, hard to service, parts hard to find, and unreliable - there are many better hubs out there. the only reason i had it is because it came with the bike, and other than the saddle it's the first thing getting swapped out.

Strengths: It looks nice...The endWeaknesses: very weak metal on free-bodyBottom Line: This rear hub has totally failed 2 times,the first after only 400km and then again after 1200km.
The first time the internal's of the free hub body fell to bits destroying my cassette in the process.
The second time the cassette actually cut into the free hub body it's self causing both to be discarded.
Really hard to say if the hub is at fault or the high torque from shifting under load with the Hammerschmidt cranks.
A real hassle though, considering the hud freehub body costs $170.00 NZD and $60.00 odd for a cassette.
Favorite Trail: Lots
