from Tucson Date Reviewed: June 10, 2007 Strengths: Stay true. UST. Easy to change spokes (if you can find the $5 a piece replacements). Weaknesses: CRAP rear hub design: Only two pawls, and they require maintenance. I've cracked one pawl, but it still works. The PLASTIC BUSHING that supports the freehub body wears out and then when you crank hard on the pedals it twists the whole cassette out of aligned with the axle. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Green Mtn Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $550.00 Purchased At: EBay? Similar Products Used: Chris Kings, LX, XT - stick with Kings if you want burly and reliable. Or maybe Industry Nine or DT Swiss.
