very stiff.not exactly lightweight but super strong.they look awesome.
i have the iodines 7 they have had nearly 12 months abuse with no issue other than the seal that goes into the hub coming adrift casuing drag but this was very simple to put back.

they are as easy to service as pro 11 although ive yet to fully strip it down as everything is still buttery smooth.

couple of pointers they will not take the new xt cassette as the pins catch the hub & the cheaper shimano sram cassettes eat into the freehub so best using a top end sram with a spider.

also they have had a few issues with freehubs cracking but to be fair mine is still fine but with 2 years warranty im still battering the hell out of them.

You can run XT. You need a spacer.

Call 2pure and they should send you one out.

I might have one lying around here somewhere if you ever needed one too.

cheers for the offer much appreciated,but 2 pure sent me about 6 & it still caught.the raised studs caught on the frehub in one spot.

its fine with a sram & 2 spacers
