Wow that's terrible. Sorry to hear of it. That could be really dangerous going downhill fast. your derailer could be wrapped around the cassette in a hurry.
I have one of those XT-780 hubs also, and it has been rock solid, go figure I've done about 12,000Ks of rando rides on it in the last 3 years. Now I'm worried, but maybe it's one of those things if it doesn't break right off the bat, it's good for a long time. I hope so. Another thing I have heard about these hubs is that the axle is aluminum and the threads tend to strip when you try to break it down to grease the bearings. I have not actually tried this, but it's probably overdue for a service so we'll see what happens. -Jim On Mon, Aug 31, 2015 at 2:38 PM, Clayton.sf <clayton...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > Almost new XT (HB-T780) touring rear hub.
