I've seen some White Ind. rear hubs that had what I would consider excessively notched freewheel bodies. Any freehub body can get notched of course, but these did seem a bit soft. I don't know if they were the Ti version or the Al version but I imagine the Al would be softer. As mentioned, the bearings are standard cartridge type and should have no issues. I also have to give WI props for supporting their existing products and making parts and manuals available for repair.
