What? Let's see, here is a Mavic freehub that's toast in 8500 miles and my Dura Ace freehub is 40,000 miles old, has only had a few drops of oil every year or so, and is completely silent and free of play.

I have several Ultegra and 105 freehubs on my other bikes and my familiy's bikes with 30,000+ miles on them and no signs of play or noise. So, how is Mavic 10X better?
