As stated in the title really. Especially interested in wether they would stand up to a soaking in pennine peat. Cheers in advance

I don’t have experience but idly looking at new wheels myself it seems the Hex hub is the same as on the new Nukeproof wheels and Funn Fantom AM. Seem to be a Far East hub rebranded.

Mtbr has a few threads here

I've got them on a set of their wheels, the straight pull versions.
So far given me zero issues in 6 months of all weather riding, done BPW, and various other big days out when we could do things like that and been on 2 bikes so far.
All in, I really like them. Look smart, perform as good as anything I've had, bearings holding up well, no weird noises from the freehub, and they spin really nicely (something not all hubs do, cough-hope-cough) zero complaints.
One really nice thing is every part is etched so you know which spacer goes where, what bearing size needed etc. And the freehub has a steel insert to stop the old style Shimano cassettes from biting in, if you use that type. Spares seem easy to get if you want to change freehub etc.
Would have no issue recommending them as hubs on their own.
