Strengths: Damn light- alloy hub- 4 bearings across in rear, DT spokes,
have been able to check its weaknesses and adjust accordinglyWeaknesses: Can't complain for the price. I had to strip it down right away as the bearings didn't sound so hot; minimal grease packing- great for SHORT TERM racers. After repack of all 4 cartridges, and early hub adj's- NOW I can call it reliable. Pretty interesting rear engagement system, does get dirty easily, so not the best sealed hub out there. Has stayed true after second tensioning- now 11 months, no flex, dependable.Bottom Line: If you want long term, less hassle hubs of equal weight (like DT 240 level)look elsewhere. Otherwise quite glad I am able to maintain their health, and longevity, but not long-term set and forget wheels. 4 chili's cuz of price found, 3 for mediocre sealing, under-greased bearings- high maintenance.
Favorite Trail: dirt when you can find it!!
