Their current hubs are nice, bought a pre 04 xt front disc hub today, when the burly hub I got wasn't disc compatibleGot a good enough deal on it, laced it up to a spare aircorps rim I had, took it on a ride, all I could say is that it is smooth. I will miss these hubs, next year.

The new hubs (for saint anyways) are actually on par with hope and dt for quality AND performance. Nice to see :)

I run XT hubs. They're alright. I never service hubs, and Shimano's are usually pretty good for that. They're heavy tho

Weight doesn't concern me, I need tough hubs for racing.
