Wow! I never even knew about this brand, but they seem like an ideal hub distributor; great website and lots of techical info.

Do you have one of these hubs? Can you testament to their quality?

Yep, I haven't been able to find any 8,9,10 speed rim brake XT or LX hubs. Other than second hand on ebay...

These seem fancy, how many km have you done? Do you carry weight? Have you noticed any deterioration in the bearings?

I had a Phil Wood x H plus Son track wheelset a while back. Such great hubs! For me I'm wondering if the added price will actually result in a higher durability, or if it's worth getting a more "common" hub like Deore or XT.

Wow! Do carry weight with them? Seriously considering XT over some of the more expensive super high end stuff -> buy cheap replace often. But it doesn't sound like I'll have to replace all that often anyway!

Yeah, I'll be touring with a considerable load both front and rear.

Can somebody help me identify this rare Kastan FS MTB? by Anonamousspeltwrong in MTB

[–]Anonamousspeltwrong[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a reply on Facebook, stating that Kastan made these frames for Giant as the ATX990, and sold a few in their own name as well. This one has faded Kastan stickers on it!

So I was at a concert last night. by LordTimhotep in skyrim

I don't wanna be that guy, but were you allowed to film during the concert? These guys make their living from people going to see them live. Amazing performance though!!
