Are they really 50% heavier than an equivalent hope rear hub???
i'm seeing weights quoted online from anything between 250 and 480g. (I suspect the later is more accurate)
Anyone know?

If that's the 6-bolt one then its the one I have and it weighs about 420g
In reality it's just a deore 535 with an extra seal - but for £30, its a quarter of the price of a hope one
Steel v aluminium...no contest in weight really

I'm sure I read 440g.
Anyway,they are surprisingly heavy, being a much older version of XT hubs.
I have a pair built up with 717s and they are slightly heavier than other pair of wheels I have which are a combination of heavier 317 rims and SLX hubs.
