hope hubs vs shimano xt
Hi there,
i was wondering what the general consensus is on the pros and cons of sealed cartridge bearings like hope hubs over old favorites like xt's. Is it worth spending the extra for the hope's assuming that they will last longer and be trouble free or is it better to stick to shimano assuming that they are easier to repair or replace should they fail in developing countries.
Ive not had any experience with sealed bearings before so any advice will be much appreciated.
Cheers
matt
