The Ringle Abbah rear hub features sealed cartridge bearings, swift 10 degree engagement of cassette via 3 pinned pawls on a robust 36 tooth ratchet ring. It's easily serviceable using standard bike tools and its one of the strongest, sturdiest hubs on the market.

Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Strengths:
Smooth, positive ratcheting, service free
Weaknesses:
None. Does everything a rear hub should do, and does it well.
Similar Products Used:
Too many to list.
Bike Setup:
Custom wheelset.
Bottom Line:
There really isn't too much to say about rear hubs. This one is obviously engineered well, with a full compliment (4 I think) of service-free sealed bearings. The wheel rolls smooth like the first day.
The ratcheting is very positive, and nice and loud...the way I prefer it.
I built these up with a set of Mavic's and some DT spokes. Absolutely no problems. I'm very pleased.
