bside Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 hi all My first post here I think Has anyone heard of or has any experience with O2 hubs? I have the option of buying Easton EA90XC rims with these hubs. I've never heard of them and can't seem to find anything while researching the net. Any advise/opinions will be appreciated.
Kranky Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Welcome! O2 is being distributed by Omnico, who also distribute Easton wheels. An O2 catalog can be found here. Maybe contact them and ask them to prove the brands worth? I ride the O2 Pathfinder hub on my front wheel. It appears to be quality materials and well built. I have been very happy with it so far, spins like a dream. I've only had it for a month, so can't make any judgment on its reliability and wear yet.
Face Plant Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 i have 02 hubs on my 'dale.. front and back... i am pretty happy with them! freewheel sounds awesome ala chris king
Meentb Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Have a O2 lefty hub. Awesome hub. Bearings are easy available. Haven't had any trouble with it thus far

I have the Adventurer rear hubthanksKyle
morne101 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Use to have one on a previous bike at the rear. No problems with it. It were 12 years old at the time I sold the bike.

Update: My O2 front hub that I referred to in April is still going strong.
Sasquatch Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I am riding Easton EA90XC with the O2 hubs and love them, they are bulletproof.
Kaggel Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Thanks anyway - agree. So far so good for O2 hubs
Suidwes Boytjie Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Good day... Know this is an old thread but anyone that can comment on the durability and performance of the Eastons EA90 XC Alu rims?By the look of this thread it seems the hubs are pretty good???
Face Plant Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Suidwes, are you looking at the Lefty Easton wheelset?, from my experience the O2 hubs are very good.. i believe you dont get them anymore though?? and my experience with Easton is also very good... the rims are rock solid, i am not to keen on Easton Hubs but the O2 with Easton rims should be a winner

The wheelset i can get is an O2 hub on the front wheel and a Easton Mi-221 hub on the rear... Now that you mention that the easton hubs are not to good it makes me think now...
Face Plant Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 i know of a few guys that have had issues with the Easton rear hub... actually one of the guys changed the easton rear hub with an O2 hub (red) and you couldn't even tell the difference unless you looked closely
