All: Has Clayton's experience been a common one? I ask because I recently had the rear wheel for the Matthews rebuilt with an XT hub, which I assume is the current model; I have no idea what the current model's designation is, and when it was introduced.
No hint of problems so far, but then I've not put many miles on it yet -- a few hundred. An entirely cursory Google-verb-transitive search found several problem conversations from 10 or more years ago, and only 1, from 2016, about the seizure problem. https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.php?t=108592 Clayton: Were yours 2016 models? All: Is the current model the same one? Patrick Moore, desperately hoping Clayton's hub was a total outlier, in ABQ, NM.
