Formula 511 front hub and Formula 3248 rear hub. Is it sealed bearing hubs? Can you get a microspline freehub for this hub? Those hubs are ball bearing front and rear has 2 sealed bearings, and yes you would get a micro-spline freebody for them as an option.

Why would you put ball bearing hubs on a trail hardtail bike?(Paying R33 000 for the top spec)
gerriemtb Posted March 26 Posted March 26 (edited) Will the Cerberus work for long days in the saddle, mainly jeep track, etc. In other words: Will it be a more comfortable option for easy XC riding than the Drone? Or is the Cerberus squarely in the trail bike category? @Titan Racing Bikes Edited March 26 by gerriemtb
lechatnoir Posted March 26 Posted March 26 On 3/5/2024 at 4:40 PM, Crazy Cyclist said: Why would you put ball bearing hubs on a trail hardtail bike?(Paying R33 000 for the top spec) cup and cone bearings have advantages over sealed bearings. And some disadvantages, too of course. One big plus is the ability to DIY service with minimal tools on a long weekend ahead of a long ride. Properly set up, they are a delight and remember, Shimano only recently stopped using them on Dura-Ace. Granted, the TR bearings you note probably aren't Dura-Ace quality, but still, not terrible. Well maintained, they can be flawless. FWIW, my 25 year old XTR SPDs are cup and cone, and they've never been serviced and are still smooth.

If you're out to smash PR's and attack Strava segments, a race-orientated hardtail would make more sense, for quite a bit else, this is the one to go for. gerriemtb 1

I've spent some time on one and would pick it every day of the week over a traditional hardtail. It is a lot of fun on single track, great up climbs and when you're just pedalling along it definitely feels like a more comfortable seating position. Factor in that i don't ride to win anything, but for fun. For the pure enjoyment of riding a bike. gerriemtb 1
