That's not really an official measure. Create hubs are made of cheese and not a particularly hard one at that.

Spend the money on Novatec's instead. I've stripped the threading on a Quando hub very easily before, never managed to with Novatec/System X hubs. The Novatec is also sealed so the bearings will last much much longer. If the hub threading gets stripped or whatever then it's a pain in the arse to replace as you have to rebuild the wheel.

Or spend a little more and go for Goldtec. Just don't let ChainBreaker anywhere near them. He has previous.

miche hub i got on a wheel from varno, so smooth, spins for ages at a slight push

but it's Miche, so it's made of cheese.

hard cheese?

A wheel of brie?

This does not test a hub in any way. 300 miles!

I've owned Quando mtb hubs (9sp). They were free and tbh I wouldn't pay money for them. The seals weren't good and It felt like it lacked engagement point (too few pawls?).

it goes round pretty well

Not much though, or very often by the sounds of it.

Thanks guys :) this was what I was looking for. I may save up some and go for the GoldTecs instead.
Oh n Bodie and dont worry - i doubt ChainBreaker would want to visit Leicester any-time soon lol
