I’m very brand loyal, and definitely had the preconception Hope is the better product, I’ve had zero problems over the years, relyability is important and the last thing a want is to carry my bike off a mountain.
The SS hub/wheel was a late night purchase before the discount code ended, the thread was me thinking I’d made a mistake and looking for positive info while rushing to work.
The thread has definitely given me a bit more confidence in my purchase.
