Opinions please. Are they any good and are new bearings and freehubs readily available?
basic heavy - my front wheel eats bearings.
bearings are standard and easily replaceable, freehubs are the same as dmr and available on crc.
not the lightest but they are pretty tough i think. bearings are very easy to find, and cost about 2.50 each. hubs easy to take apart and stick back together. if i was speccing from new i'd probably get all fancy and a bit lighter, but my on-one wheels are lasting pretty well now, and they do get used.
i wouldn't replace them until they fail.
I've spent over a year trying to break the ones on my ss 29er with no success. Heavy and strong rather than light and racy, and that's just me...
Freehub is a DMR Revolver, just replaced my second one in six months! First one wore out gradually, second just failed and now spins in either direction. Apart from that, strong, robust wheel.
