Strengths:
Cheap, durable, no frills, lighter than XT
Weaknesses:
Center-lock, serrated lock nut

Bottom Line:
For the price the LX hubs does the job and then some. They still have held up pretty well for my 29er wheels. My only real complaint is the right-side serrated lock nut. It keeps coming loose and allowing play once in awhile. It's kind of annoying but these hubs were cheap so it's minor. Believe it or not these are lighter than the XT's! Bearings still running smooth.
