    Price Paid:  $0.00

    Summary:
    this hub is junk. save the money and get the ultegra. the DA is lightweight, but the bearing quality is sh*t. even with fresh bearings and grease, these things grind and make a lot of noise. i used to own an older 8 speed freelhub that was 3x as smooth as the newer 9 speed trash.

    Strengths:
    light

    Weaknesses:
    bearing quality is crumby. not any better than ultegra or even 105.

    8spd DA, 8 and 9 spd ultegra...

    Favorite Ride:
    Long hiway

    Bike Setup:
    Litespeed liege w/ full dura ace.
    Hubs are built up with mavic open pros.

    Summary:
    Top of the line. Do they preform this way? No. The back hub has been grinding since I've used them I bought them slightly used, 1000km. Took them to the shop and found out there is a divit/wear starting to form in the interior of the hub, I would assume it was caused by the fact that the bearing aren't sealed. I'm really disapointed by this considering they are supposed to be top of the line. My Rolf comps were a much better set-up. And to replace the hub? I can get a full set of mavic cosmos' for only $100 more.

    Strengths:
    Nice look, front hub is great.

    Weaknesses:
    As above and the price.

    Bike Setup:
    Principia Rex, DA-group.

    Summary:
    These hubs go on like the DuraCell bunny! I've put appr. 30.000 km's into my current hubset without ANY problems. They still ride as smoothly as ever. These hubs are excellent wether you want to build a reliable set of training wheels or a set of top grade racing wheels!

    Strengths:
    Durability, smooth rolling, weight, excellent finish.

    Weaknesses:
    A bit pricey but worth the penny.
