    Price Paid:  $200.00 at LBS

    Favorite Ride:
    The next one

    Bike Setup:
    Cannondale CAAD5, 105/Ultgera mix

    Summary:
    Got these hubs laced to Mavic Open Pro's for all-around riding. Well-pleased so far (not 1000m yet). Good ride. Stable without being too stiff.

    Strengths:
    Solid, easily serviced anywhere. Weight very reasonable for a 32-spoke set-up.

    Weaknesses:
    None so far- maybe no bling if you care about that sort of thing.

    Similar Products Used:
    Stock Cannondale Gipiemme wheelset.

    Price Paid:  $0.00

    Favorite Ride:
    No cars, lots of hills

    Summary:
    My ultegra rear hub was fine until it cracked and broke in half. I called Shimano and they didn't care -- said it was past the 2 year warrantee (about 4 yrs old). I understand this is rare, but not too impressive performance or response.

    Strengths:
    Worked fine when it was in one piece.

    Weaknesses:
    Didn't stay in one piece.

    Similar Products Used:
    Used a specialized hub for 10 years with no problems. Also haven't had trouble with a 105 (yet?)
