It's not totally fair to include hubs that were solid and THEN developed wobble after some riding UNLESS you know absolutely sure that your dropouts are parallel at the OLD

Dropouts that are not parallel when the wheel is done up will cause wobble in most hubs unless they have beastly axles eg: Gsport

If I ride a hub hard for months I can accept that it develops some wobble. But after several days of riding. Absolutely not. I've seen brand new ones wobble. They just have shit tolerances. And their warranty is fucking awful.

I dunno about great. Pretty much the only alternative to Profile at the time and Profile were definitely better back then. Maybe. Rose tinted glasses and all that.

depends what quantifies great for you.

it engaged when i pedalled, it was lhd, and when i snapped the axle it was a 5er to get a new one. only bad thing was those old style drivers with switchable cogs-i blew one of the cogs up when i smashed it on an opposite feeble. it was a lot better than the eastern complete hub i had before that though
