I would like to bring this thread back, just to say that i'm running 8 months on the chub and for the money.. DEFINNITELY NOT WORTH IT! I've already run through the bearings TWICE! (which is what led me to this website, searching for issues with the chub and bearings.. found about that chain thing.. which is ridiculous.. you NEED a tight chain). The threads are on some seemingly cheap alloy, and the wheel is not performing as stiff as i was expecting (i have it laced to dt revolution spokes on mavic open pros - 32h), figured to modify by putting some deeper bolts through the axles - felt the bolts that came with the chub were a little TOO short.. and well, thus far - for my money, iw ould have rather gone for a set of Pauls or experimented with a level (which just seems like a big DUH!). no less, i am going to now experiment with a level since i jsut got some medical study money. i'll do some tests on that one.

no less, i agree with all who are scared about the money and i agree with sheldon. HE KNOWS!
