Well....... where do i start!!!! When i first built up my bike i heard a lot about the Saint stuff being extra strong and tough..... What a load of shite!!!!! After just a year i had my rear hub replaced as the bearings were fucked, i had hardly rode the bike hard because of my injury and it was actually cheeper to buy a new hub than have the saint fixed!!!! So a Hope pro II was purchased.

A year on and i now have to change the front hub as the bearings have gone on that, again i am getting a pro II. The advise i am giving is don't buy the Saint stuff it really doesn't stand up to all that is meant to be. The only thing i have being impressed with are the brakes they are top notch. In my opinion the hub bearings ware down far too quickly for their intended use. These are supposed to be heavy duty DH/FR stuff!!!!

Rant over!!!!!

hm why didnt you just go find a bearing place and buy some heavy duty bearings for them? theyd last years


its probably because you wash your bike.... using it washes out all the grease and the bearings die, if you like me and dont wash it... its only the dirt that wears the bearings
