Strengths:
Smooth, rigid, easy to service, although it never needs service. I've ridden this hub hard for two years and it still feels absolutely new. The seals lock out all dust dirt and water, the main internal axle distributes forces evenly on your 20mm axle so you dont get the 'bearing mark'. These are slick looking hubs, and they are machined with incredible tolerance. Other hubs arent perfectly concentric or dont have totally flat disc surfaces so your disc wobbles, but this hub is great.
Weaknesses:
none
Similar Products Used:
saint hubs, marzocchi hubs, nothing compares
Bike Setup:
kona stinky, jr t
Bottom Line:
This hub is just as good as the 200 dollar top of the line front hubs by King or Hadley. It'll stay feeling new under any abuse, and will keep your front end rigid like no other. Oh, and its pretty cheap at 80 dollars new (if you look around).

Strengths:
This hub is so much smoother than the hub that came stock on my kona coiler delux. It looks solid and fit my 66vf fork just fine.
Weaknesses:
none so far

Bike Setup:
mostly stock 05 coiler delux
Bottom Line:
looks like these will be a set it and forget it part. I have no need to sell out $$$ for a king hub when this works better and doesn't need constant service.
