Does anyone know if the ss switch hubs have the same problems with axles like the maxle lite that the old pro 2s had?

Cheers!

    Good, that puts a set on the shortlist (well, it was a short list, not so much anymore...) of things to consider buying if the bit of extra cash I'm hoping work might come up with comes through.

    Wait-what? Why not alloy? I feel I've missed something here. I'm about to put my switch hub on a new 12mm Scott axle-I've not got it yet but i'm sure it'll be alloy. What do I need to be concerned about?

    and nothing.
