where do you take this information? i have a remix. haven't done a singe fucking thing to it for over a year. did a huge 180 drop and messed up my back real hard, my ribcage got heavily out of true (broke like 4 spokes or something). not a damn thing happened to the hub. not to mention all the other stuff i have done and just daily rididing/commuting. so please, if you don't have any personal experience then stfu :) no offense though, im just saying.
i must say it skips sometimes though and that is kinda annoying. its nice and clean and on the inside and the all the springs seem to work well, dunno why its doing those small skips sometimes. still a pretty good hub though, it isn't very expensive and all the replacement parts are cheap too.

I'm not saying the Remix is weak, or even that it's a bad hub, I'm saying that 6802 bearings are tiny, and in most cases, are really not very durable at all.
A friend of mine got a remix shortly after they came out, and if I remember correctly he was on his 3rd set of bearings when he got rid of it recently.
If you don't get any dirt or sand in there they should last most people a while, but I guess I'm just butthurt that Primo made such a shitty move with the bearings.

eh, i must say i wanted to buy the og mix but it was sold out. the bearings are fine like i said but it kinda rolls slow. when im riding it, it feels good, but when you spin the wheel in hand it is kinda slow. but meh, since it hasn't given me any headaches and the driver bearings are perfect, i'd say it's a decent hub. always could be better though.
