Quick question-
I've come across some flashy new hubs and I've now got an extra Hugi 240 rear hub laying around. Will this be too light/weak for a dh bike? My frame is spaced for 10X135 and the old shimano xt I'm currently running in the rear is plain shot.
This is the direction I'm thinking as I won't have to buy a new hub ($$), but I don't want to rip the flanges off the first run down.
I'm ~170lbs and the hub has held up fine on xc/trail bikes being treated a bit rough for years.
thanks

ps: I know this isn't the ridemonkey of old where you could get intelligent answers to technical questions, but hell, its worth a shot.
