Anyone here have any experience with the new 12sp Xt or XTR hubs? Like them? Fast engagement like the reviews say?

Ordered. I should just stick to asking simple questions like "Should I go with yellow or black grips on my yellow bike??"

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.

Black grips.

I don’t think many round these parts will have had much experience on new shimano hubs tbh.

I have XT 12 speed hubs. Take the freewheel out and grease the interface of the freewheel and the hub. Mine got super noisy and ran into a bunch of people who had same and complained about same noise. I was told I could warranty it but don't have time for that shit I ride my bike 4 days a week.

Grease fixed it right up and hasn't made a sound since. Circlip pliers don't work I used 2 tiny screwdrivers and pliers to squeeze them on the outer side of the "circlip." Seems shimano has invented their own fucked up stupid circlip design to hold the freewheel on.
