max-t Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 id say no..from a very long experiance of them..they are absolute bollocks..DONT GET ONE!!!!!!!!!!!the first one i got brand new was the 6 speed one and i broke it within 2 months.the bearings in the freehub body went...so i got some morethen 4 months later they went again..along with the rachet ring.so my dad again replaced them for me..so i have new rachet ring and bearings and im ready to ride.a WEEK later and i ride at addigham moorside (total mission from home) and it breaks on the first day ther.so we thought i might of just had a defected hub.so my dad buys a brand new hub...i put it on seems fine bla bla bla..again a few months down the line a pawl snaps along with the hub bearing going and the freehub body bearing.then i snap the akle.buy a nw one etc etc and i really couldnt be assed with it any more.they break all the timecrap response on the pedalmy dad must of spent over £500 pounds on them for repairs in the space of a yearthe bearings are cheapthey flex alothave to send them back to america when in need of repairif you want a reliable rear hub get one from the hope range like a pro 2 or bulb or if you dont fancy that i suggest a king because they are top notch also.max...........DONT GET A STOCK PROFILE!
