I had a TP hub and the freehub stripped itself because they packed it with sticky grease which kept the pawls from fully engaging in the teeth.
If you do get one take it apart and remove the grease. Replace with something like Phil Wood Tenacious Oil. Good 'ol 30wt would be better than the grease.
I had heard of the free hubs stripping. Hmmm. Im not very heavy, but i will be sure to take it apart and put some heavy oil in there instead. They probably packed it with grease to deaden the sound?
I really cant afford a hadley or DT hub right now. Jenson has a ringle hub for 126, but my ringle hub just broke, so im not so sure i want to go back to another one.
H A D L E Y. if you don't have enough money right now just save your change for a month. you won't be sorry. DO NOT buy a ringle because it will break and there's a good chance customer service will be nowhere to be found.... cash down the drain. i'd tell my horror story but i don't feel like typing it now.
if you're desperate tho i have heard a lot of really good things about Hope hubs. but there's a site that sells Hadleys for 235. just wait, it's worth it.
