PappaWatTrap Posted May 19, 2020 Share Jasper, where did you buy your hub?A friend of mine brought it back from England before it all arrived in SA. But I guess now with the m6100 release those hubs should arrive soon. Christofison 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMJ Posted May 19, 2020 Share I have Hope Pro 4 hubs, XT 12 spd shifter and derailleur and Sram Eagle cassette. Works well. David Sutcliffe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappaWatTrap Posted May 19, 2020 Share it's crazy how those XT hubs are failing. One of my friends had two XT hubs fail on him. I did some snooping around on the Shimano website. If you look at the XT/SLX hub workshop manual and compare it to the FH-MT510 HUB then you'll see the XT/SLX hubs are far more complex with these small springs internally.  I agree with the previous comments, just get the hope hub or go my rout and buy the cheap FH-MT510 hub. Much more simple and would probably last a forever.  For those tec guys if you would like to compare the XT/SLX hub ve the FH-MT510 hub  FH-MT510 https://si.shimano.com/pdfs/dm/DM-MBHB001-05-ENG.pdf XT/SLX hub https://si.shimano.com/pdfs/dm/DM-MAHB001-06-ENG.pdf Christofison 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted May 19, 2020 Share If there was one way to claw back some ground on sram it was flawless reliability and now Shimano are dropping the ball big time I don't think their hubs have been very popular in the past die to cup and cone maintenance being something most people avoid but the cartridge bearings might have brought customers back (on xtr I think) Let's se if they say something, if anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But gradually I've noticed they are dropping the ball here in the quest to keep up with trends. They should just stick to what works and just improve serviceability like making the bearing preload adjustment simpler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurking Lori Posted June 24, 2020 Share I want to know if anyone else has got any problems with this setup?I fitted the setup but the hub has been giving issues from day one on. Second hub and still issues.Terrible noise coming from the hub when pedaling hard.A sound like that one? https://youtu.be/Ler8jynpkM4 Edited June 24, 2020 by Lurking Lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaan M Posted June 27, 2020 Share I've experienced the same issue with my slx hub. It started making the same noise after the 5th ride. I upgraded less than a month ago. It's really frustrating. And to make matters worst, the wheel has to be rebuild to again the change the hub. What's the best hub to replace it with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurking Lori Posted June 27, 2020 Share After i got my third replacement wheel in warranty, every wheel the same noise after a couple miles, i‘m offered to switch back to xt 11 groupset. My dealer told me it‘s a shimano issue and they have to fix their hubs. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big S managed due to the volume they get from their massive fishing reel combined with cycling industries involvement.Chasing the next marketing trend easily translates to shortcuts getting products to the market.

DR ◣◢ Posted June 29, 2020 Share Might not be manufactured locally but the company is based in Cape Town.  Excellent service and support for their product.  Bought my wheels and cranks from them. Feels good to help put food on the table of a small local business. bullet77, DieselnDust and Danger Dassie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
