Mark Ploegstra * If you think you want to service the hub yourself, have a look at the instructional video on the Hayes Performance Systems YouTube channel first. You will probably need to order at least the Rear Axle Tool to open up the hub and access the pawls.
* I got the 148x12 boost hub. It came with just a Shimano HG freehub body, and I think that the freehub body and the axle are aluminum. If you want a different freehub body or axle, you need to add that to the order.
* The bearing that I can see without disassembly is a TTN rubber-sealed bearing, not name brand by any means but probably OK.

Blizzzz I received this on a fat bike, 197mm with HG steel freehub. Pawls would not engage from new as the freehub had awful tolerances and pawls stuck even with Pro-X Freehub grease, you could constantly feel the freehub skipping as you pedaled. The pawls were wearing out extremely fast!
The freehub bore was not straight so as the freehub spun there was a significant amount of runout, this translated into almost a full cog spacing of lateral movement on largest cog making shifting horrible and inconsistent.
Axle broke in half after 2 months of riding, it had been 1 year and still waiting for warranty replacement.

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

M.C. 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.
