The Hive Single Speed Rear Hub Pro Review
The product I’m reviewing is the Chub singlespeed disc rear hub with Ti M10 screws for $225 and QR Disc front hub for $180. The rear hub is a thread-on hub weighing in at 292 grams and the front weighs in at 160 grams. Both feature a carbon fiber hub shell that reminds me of the old Nuke Proof Bombshell hub that I lusted for when I started biking back in the 90's. The rear hub features an impressive 15 mm through axle and is clamped on by the trickest 10 mm Titanium bolts that I have ever fondled. Continue reading →

from Durango, CO Date Reviewed: November 12, 2011 Strengths: Very strong hub and smooth bearings. I can actually notice when riding my other wheels that bearings on these Hive hubs are very high quality and roll great. I've used these for races, longer XC rides, and very rocky descents and they are solid. Due to the larger flanges, I guess it builds a stronger lateral stiffness in a wheel but it also depends on spoke type and lacing you use. You can build 3x with these and I might even try 2x next time. I got one of the first gen hub sets released and was waiting anxiously for several mths and when they arrived I was amazed at the lightness and quality of them. The Ti bolts are very smooth, light, and stay tight when tightened. Questions I've had have been handled pretty quickly from the folks at the Hive. Weaknesses: Having to explain to the Non-Observant that this IS NOT a Rohloff, Nexus, Alfine hub and then seeing the look of puzzlement. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: All of 'em. Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Hope Pro II (both cassette and SS versions), Surly, XT's, XTR's, WTB. Bike Setup: Niner SIR SS with WI freewheel.
