    Strengths:durability, very very smooth and it lasts!!
    they look great
    Weaknesses:none yet, maybe a bit heavy but who cares, man!!
    Bottom Line:i got the one made by SACHS but it's the same thing as SRAM since SRAM bought SACHS. I've been using them for over 1/2 a year and they're just great not talking of that they look challanging. the best from SACHS.

    Submitted by Anders Christiansen a Weekend Warrior from Copenhagen, Denmark
    Date Reviewed: February 15, 2000
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Strengths:Running smoothly and looks good
    Weaknesses:Non so far, Weight ?
    Similar Products Used:Shimano Alivio which were very durable, but didn't run very well
    Bike Setup:7002 Alu-frame, XT/LX-mixture, RST Mozo Pro
    Bottom Line:When I bought the hubs they had run about 100 miles and were on a set of Rigida DP 22 rims, the hubs has so far proved to be the better part of that deal. Any rider who is looking for performance shoulden't hesitate to buy SRAM hubs if they're an option.
