Pros: ? easy to service? does the job,kinda?
Cons: too pricey for what it is, skips, cassets eat the body, slow engagement.
Time Used: 6 Months
Comments: skipped the first time i used it, took it apart added some tension to the springs, only started skipping again the other week, engage's slower than any hope, and is more expensive! my cassete hammered the body pretty fast, is light tho, not that that helps the wheel accelerate faster for gaps an stuff tho. im savin for a king, one skips too much for me, i like my teeth.

Pros: Lightweight, user servicable, extra flange height allows radial lacing.
Cons: Not ver durable
Time Used: 1 Year
Comments: I had this hub for three months and it started to creak on me- badly. So I sent in my wheel to have the hub serviced and it lasted me about a month after that. Sent it in again and it only lasted me about a week this time. Sent it in one more time, had the hub replaced and smae thing. Replaced it with a trusty Chris King and I'm loving life.
