i have had one on the front of my bike for 4? months no probs and i got a rear one about 2 months ago only one prob with it on the freewheel side i cracked the little end cap and awaiting for it to be replaced but thats what happen's when a lil kid jumps out in front of you while doing a high speed nose manual and u drop it down side ways... and the wheel pops right out of the drop out! i sh!t my self :lol:

I'm just wondering how the rear hub sounds, is it a cool clicking noise? Does it have heaps of notch's so that it buzzzz's? The noise of a rear hub is vital!

i know alot of people who have had problems with there stuff, Headsets were the worst, i have both a front and rear hub of there's. In my rear hub the sopkes just about pulled through the hub body, i told jed he said that they have had this problem but none have pulled through yet though if it did they would replace it, i said i wasent happy with that, and that i thought it would pull through for sure and did'nt want to destroy a rim and a wheel build in doing so, he said fine send it back, 3 day's later i had a new hub bodie, 1 week later i cased a rock gap on our local DH run, and 2 sprokes pulled through on the brand new hub and destroyed my Mavis rim, i sent it back and he sent me a brand new hub. I have been extreamly pleased with there service it's the best of any companies i have delt with, but i cant keep destroying rim's so if it pulls through again i'll call it quits, However Jed did say they have fixed it, and it shouldent be a problem now. Also more on customer service, the axel was too long on my rear hub due to the floating break mount on my yet, i told Jed what needed to be done and he sent me a custom axel. Anyway see how the hub goes, at least you have peice of mind knowing they will help you out if somthing goes wrong.

well that's interesting indeed, I hope the problem has been fixed. Good to see they take excellent care of you though. I didn't even know they had headsets out yet?

Hmm, doesn't sound too good but atleast they took care of ya.

I actually demo-ed my CNC mill for Dave a few years back so they kinda owe me a tiny favour, i'm sure i'll be fine if ever it does break.
