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...
