TUNE HUBS

Thinking of a new wheel build using Tune hubs which are incredably light. Does anyone have wheels with these hubs? How are they, are they reliable, able to take reasonable abuse and the UK weather, etc, etc or does anyone know where there is a review of them. Cheers for your help.

I assume you mean for off road, but I’ve had the road MIG/MAG hubs for 3yrs (about 20,000km/yr) without a peep. Haven’t even greased the freehub 😳

Yes intention for off road – but thanks for that, impressive!

ive got a set on my bike, not done a great deal of miles on them but no issues so far

ive ran the lefty (cannonball) one as well again no issues

got mine from r2-bike, some colours take longer to come, waited 6 weeks for the purple rear

Also got MIG/MAG on my road bike that I also commute all year round on. Lovely hubs, berings last well. Freehub is a little soft, but that’s about my only complaint.

I’ve got a set of MTB hubs, upgraded freehub to a Ti version as the alloy one is made of cheese. Otherwise brilliant hubs

I had some King/Kong Superscharf hubs a few years back. The front was fine (you can’t really do a front hub wrong!), but the rear had a carbon axle and was non user-serviceable, which wasn’t advertised when I bought it, not particularly Tune’s fault admittedly.

The bearings went after about 6 months, kept on using it, then the freehub body disintegrated (totally), had to disassemble the wheel, send the hub back, it cost me £90, then happened again about 9 months later.

Enough to put me off them. There’s A LOT of reports of freehub bodies cracking, most people recommend you go for the ti freehub (which is both heavier and more expensive than the alu one). I’d not bother again on the MTB, it’s a shame, as some of their stuff looks good, if that new Highfly hub ever sees the light of day it should be awesome!

Having more luck with my A2Z hubs, which are about 1/3 the price, a similar weight and have proven more reliable! Or DT240s.
