The RM 30 is one of the crappiest hubs they ever produced I discovered after building 3 wheels using it.
I had assumed if it was Shimano, it was "good enough". Wrong!

Cones are oxide coated (rust browned) instead of polished.
The 2 wheels in use that I have access to had the DS cones noticeably pitted after about 500 miles.
