About me: 6’7, 245lbs geared up, aggressive rider, sport/expert enduro rider, like to bash into rocks, sometimes case jumps, etc
Currently running i9 1/1 hubs and Stan’s flow ex3 rims. Rims are holding up to my abuse fairly well.
However the rear hub is not holding up so well. I’m on #2 cracked hub axle. i9 is great about the warranty and replacing it, but it’s a week+ of downtime every time it happens. i9 doesn’t make a steel axle replacement. Have had multiple wheel builders tell me it’s because I’m tall and put a lot of lateral force on the rear hub, so, I’m looking at “stronger” hubs. Most recommend a 350.
The options I’m considering:
Dtswiss 350 with a 36t or 54t ratchet
Hope pro 4
Something else I’m not thinking of?
Which hub would be strongest for the abuse I put them through?
