More money doesn't always mean a better hub, and I define an excellent hub as one that works as intended with minimal maintenance.
FWIW, I don't own any cassette wheels, having run PW FW hubs ongoing. They have been excellent, and I for one do prefer the independence of hub and freewheel. I keep thinking "one of these days" I may get a cassette wheel , and what would I choose. so yeah I have wondered about these things just like Isaac. I have read many "reports/reviews" of various failures with PW and even Shimano hubs, mainly the late generation XT hubs with the aluminum axles. I have not ran across one failure with WI hubs however. So I guess I'd choose between a basic Deore or LX and the WI M15. Yes I know LX are not manufactured anymore but I do see Peter While lists he has some still and so do others if you look around. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
