One of the best all around hubs available. Not the lightest but not as heavy as King, Hadley, etcetera but with all of the quality. Hub shells are machined from 2014-T6 aluminum and anodized in one of six colors. The rear hub features five sealed cartridge bearings and a four pawl system engaging into a 24 point steel ratchet. Skewers are not included.

Strengths:
Light weight and stiff. If you have never tried tubeless you should! I've tried several rims tubeless and the Stan's stuff is by far the best for the conversion. The set I have is a ZTR hub with Arch 29s. Very basic and very reasonable in price.
Weaknesses:
none.
Similar Products Used:
C29ssmax, Easton One, WTB, other variations of stans 355s and different hubs.
Bike Setup:
Niner Jet9.
Bottom Line:
No need to use a rim strip in these. Many times there is no need to even use an air compressor. The rim itself can be mated to a variety of hubs ie. I9, Kings, hopes, DT Swiss, etc... These are plenty stiff and light.
