SHIMANO Deore XT HB-M8000 Disc Vorderradnabe

Ich bestätige hiermit die Bewertung von Herrn Cummings. Die Nabe, die ich zurückgesendet habe läuft nicht und rastet merklich an fünf Stellen. Insgesamt habe ich jetzt von vier bestellten Naben eine behalten, die alte xt HB-M785. Diese läuft auch etwas rau, aber läuft. Shimano hat offensichtlich bei den XT-Naben Qualitätsprobleme. Die Kontaktierung des technischen Supportes von Rose brachte lediglich die Information, dass die rückgesendeten Naben unkontrolliert weiterverkauft werden.

The black finish was very good as was the whole appearance of the hub, But, all that glitters is not gold, as the saying goes.
The finish of this product on close inspection let it down badly. Some spoke holes were countersunk, most were not!. The hub when rotated had a gritty feel and seemed crude.
I disassembled and re grease it and even then the rotational action was still gritty and poor.
This I think was down to bad ball bearings or a poorly finished bearing race. As this was the whole point of a hub, to rotate, I am not sure this hub is worth buying. I can see this bearing race fail very quickly. There are better hubs, I will be getting rid of this as soon as possible. A poor choice on my part, its a shame as the experience from Rose was first class, well packed quick delivery and emails to advise me of despatch and parcel tracking.
