It's Day 359 and I'm at 35,940km so it's going pretty well to finish on Saturday. I'm really enjoying these final days, the weather has been kind too. The bearings in my hunt wheels have decided to go so I've swapped to the 650b wheels that i own. At this point in time it just makes me smile about the wear of components, i definitely rate the hunt hubs (bitex?) as they have lasted a long time with little service.

I’m sure hunt would like to hear your review given what you’ve put them through.

I normally get 10/12k miles out of a pair of Phil woods bearings. 2 years ago I switched to goldtecs on my winter bike and there still going after 15k miles. I’ve warn out a front rim before the bearings.

I'll probably send them an email, as they've been solid. It makes me want to get a set of their carbon wheels for my new Race ready road (r³).

That's interesting to know as i would of thought the more expensive hubs would of lasted longer
