Anybody used these hubs? Are they a significant upgrade over XT hubs, i would imagine having cartridge bearings they would last a while. Ive had good luck with my 240s but i just want to know about these. Thanks

Haven't used them, but review by conjecture places them above the XT's. They have a faster engagement point (18 I believe) and I think are lighter @ .75pnds(xt's are notorious for being cheap and strong...but heavy like bull @ 1pnd)
If that makes it worth it to you then they are a pretty proven hub. You won't notice much with the engagement as that isn't much of an improvement. At the price you could like get hopes which are a signifigant upgrade with 36points of engagement and again lighter.

I have been using them for quite some time now and I LOVE them, when I switched to discs the hubs I replaced where shimano POSes and these where alot heavier, BUT Im a BIG dude and weight is not an issue, these are great hubs and I dont regret shelling that mutch at all.

Well he got them, actually i ordered them and he just payed me back. I know the XT rear hub is over 1lb by itself since i used it on my first wheelset, it was a beast.
