Matti Purojärvi The hub was high quality one and it was delivered in few days. Great support!

M. The hub is just bad and unreliable, the bearings that are in the freehub are prone to blowing up. And if they do blow up and they eventually will its a pain in the ass to get the bearing races out of the freehub and within less than a year I had to do it twice. While looking for bearings that would last a bit longer I found a technical drawing of the hub and I noticed that on this drawing there were only two bearings in the freehub and not three like in the freehub that I had in my hand. I don't know if sunringle was trying to fix the issue with bearings dying prematurely but adding one more bearing didn't do the trick. I got these wheels OEM (in my Rose Bonero 2) so I'm stuck with them for a bit. I'm waiting for winter sales to get wheels with DT370 hubs that are just better, more reliable and the quality is just so much better. I wouldn't agree with sunringle on the "high-quality" of the hub. The axle of my hub was lose although the bearings were in great condition and so was the axle. Therefore the only thing that could be the issue were the manufacture tolerances. I'm disappointed but not surprised with the quality of the hub because some products made by sunringle or associated companies aren't great with quality or reliability like hayes dominion a4s having misaligned halves of the caliper (shown by dale stone on YouTube) or reynolds hubs having bad seals that eat themselves and let water get into the hub (shown by szajbajk on YouTube). Discouraged by my experience with sunringle so far I'm going to stay away from their products.

Gusztav Olah I just can't get it, how this can cost the same money like DT Swiss 350 hubs. Poor machining, poor and undersized bearings. The ones inside the freehub body fail regularly, however replacements from higher tier manufacturers hold up much better, than Ringlé factory ones, but due to design flaws the load still kills them. Microspline body made of soft alloy, and can not whitstand the load from the cogs, leaving deep indentations on it. Gap to axle is also on the high side, causing creaking (movement of hub relative to axle) under heavy load (pedalling). Shouldn't that be enough, pawls and ratchet ring failed too. Pawls and ring replaced, with specific tool. All expenses so far, well overexceeded the MSRP of this "beauty". Should I have known that earlier, would have sold it immediately after delivery of my brand new bike. (Maybe to some mazochist..) Came with the bike (Cube Reaction Race C:62) unfortunately, but will fly into the trash can, once my new DT Swiss wheels arrive. I started MTB in the early 90-s, when Ringlé was a new and upcoming star of boutiqe brands. Now it is just yet another industry waste...
