I know Njee didn't rate his tunes but I've had no issues with mine despite being raced through some pretty awful winter races.
True, but to be fair, the issues I had were more to do with the lack of transparency when I bought them, rather than the product itself.
I can live with freehub bodies disintegrating after less than a year (they were bloody light after all) it was the revelation that that required a full wheel rebuild and the hub to be sent away for weeks that I found hard to stomach!
Had I known that I'd have bought the standard Kong, and probably been more happy. I think the Superscharf ones are user serviceable now anyway.
I've got the Ti body on mine and so far so good. I'm still amazed that you can pay so much money for a hub and it still comes with an alloy freehub body that cuts up like it does. Hope, Shimano and the original Tune all did this.
That King article is pretty interesting, it does seem like they've got a pretty cool niche in the market where they can afford to charge what they like and people still lust after their products. Regardless of how good DT/Tune/AN Other hubs are, King still seem to be the ones that people really want and recognise. Genius stroke having the hub sound as a downloadable ringtone from their site too.
Mine was nothing to do with the cassette, it broke up, into lots of little pieces! The ti freehub body adds weight, and to be honest the fact you have to buy it separately (costing more than the alu one) is ridiculous.
I don't mind cassettes biting into the freehub body, it's essentially cosmetic, no way I'd buy a ti or steel freehub body to negate it.
