Superstar Evo Hubs

StumpyPaul

Thinking about getting some new wheels and I just wondered if the Spuerstar Evo hubs make the nice clicky noise ? !

Also, am I right in saying on a Trek Fuel EX it just has normal quick release when I order the hubs as I know the quick release skewer is longer which is confusing me ! :roll:

The rear is normal QR, its just longer so you can't use a different one, thats all.

I thought so, thanks for clearing that up for me.

Nice 1, let me know what you think. Did look on You tube and watched a couple of vids.

They certainly are noisy! I've given my am wheels quite a battering for 10 months and the bearings are still perfectly smooth.

i've got evo hubs and they are nowhere near as noisy as Hopes. They do roll as quick tho

They certainly aren't the noisiest but they make a nice sound for when you are working on the bike or back pedaling but you can barely hear it when on the bike and it doesn't really work as a replacement for a bell like Hope's or Sun Ringle's. My other hub is a cheap Sun Ringle Demon hub and it's louder, you can actually hear it on the trail, and it has more engagement points, 30 instead of 24, which I found a little disappointing since it is meant to be a better hub. Also the bearings were trash in both front and rear after about 8 months so that wasn't the best.

I would consider them again if I needed a cheap replacement hub but would most likely go for Sun Ringle at about the same cost and deal with the extra weight.

I have a hope wheelset on one bike, and a superstar evo wheelset on my other, the hope freehub is much louder, and the hope hubs are slightly better quality, however i haven't really had any issues with either, i'd have hope over the superstar, but both are a winner.
