Strengths:    Smooth reasonable weight.

Weaknesses:    The method of adjusting the bearing play is really bad. Loosen a set screw and press on the adjustment collar. If its not tight enough, press harder. If its to tight don't press as much. Then tighten the set screw. How much to push??? And the set screw mars the axle end. Why not thread the end of the axle, thread and slot the collar and turn the long axis of the set screw 90 degrees using it to clamp the collar onto the axle. Rotate the threaded collar to precisely set the bearing preload.

I had a pair of Rolf Prima Vigors that used the same poor mechanism. Sold them.


Bottom Line:   
Light and smooth but stupid imprecise bearing adjustment mechanism.

Bottom Line:   
The new White Industries Road Hubs are awesome. They are super smooth and have shown no weaknesses after their first 3000 miles of use. Very nice freehub click. Right up there with King.
