Strengths: Good, solid and simple. Has worked with little maintenance over five yearsWeaknesses: Must be taken apart regularly for cleaning and lubrication or it won't engage properlyBottom Line: One of the prettiest hubs out there. But that doesn't really mean anything. Easy to service and reliable. You MUST clean and lub regularly though.

Strengths: Sealed bearings (4 in rear hub), easily disasembled to clean and oil, strong design.Weaknesses: Heavy compared to the new products. No colour options.
Freehub needs oiling, no grease or the pawls stick.Not a hassle as two allen keys and the hub comes apart.Bottom Line: A good hub set that requires a bit of servicing in the rear hub free wheel to keep it running freely. Otherwise a good product that is strong for us heavier guys.(90+kg)
Five for value front & rear for $150 NZ
Four maintance on the rear hub.Much easier than servicing an XTR though.

from Los Alamos, NMDate Reviewed: May 28, 1999
Strengths:
Was on sale, sealed well, easy to work on.Weaknesses:
Breaks easily, loudBottom Line: This hub sucks. The pawls don't engage properly a lot of the time, and so you have to constantly take it apart and fix them. Also, I managed to break 2 pawls entirely pedal-kicking up over some rocks. Not a good product by any stretch of the imagination. Service wasn't great either - they questioned whether I really had a WC hub and got quite huffy when I asked if the pawls broke often.
