In regards to the VO hub; I just relaced one I have been using on my commuter to it's 3rd rim. Had it since 2013? It is still going fine although I changed, weirdly, the bearings on the freehub a few years back because they had gone a bit crunchy, presumably from me being overly zealous with chain lube at some point washing dirt into them. The main hub bearings are still the originals and very smooth.
Caveats: Other than when I have serious accidents I seem to be super gentle on my gear and a bit obsessive about maintenance. I am over 6 foot and only 80kgs and have hyperactive mechanical sympathy. Oher peoples mileage may literally vary. I also enjoy the silver look though its practicality in the long term has in recent years made it somewhat less desirable. Also *hate* setting up brakes on a polished rim. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
