It's a shame they haven't solved the problem of terrible sealing on their hubs. Every set of TRS wheels I've seen (including the ones gathering dust in my shed) have had the freehub fail.

Had a similar experience with their XC cranks... I did everything right, went back/forth with e13, even broke out the ol' calipers to measure my bb shell. After 3 seasons of pops and loosening, they are going in the trash. Replacing with Shimano XT that was 1/3 the price and will surely last a long long time w/o issue. Their DH cranks on the other hand are performing admirably - no issues at all! Funny that onethewhiskey mentions their chainguides... those are great... we have DW to thank for a lot of that heritage. I can't seriously consider e13 anymore...

I have very mixed feeling towards e*thirteen. I have respect for their problem solving ways, and anytime they release a new product, it always seems like a good idea; it agrees with my armchair engineering and I normally say "hey, that's a great idea!" On the trail, or in person - different story. Yes I had a pawl break in my TRS+ wheels that wrecked the hub, but that's been a non-issue now. Their bearings were terrible though. When the hubs are laced up to a rim with a thicker extrusion that doesn't let the nipples sit at a bit...

5/2/2016 9:04am I used to see gazza 3.0 all the time. Now it's pretty rare - perhaps only once a year riding on the street under a 15year old DH bike caught in a time warp. But in reality... nuschool-plusboostninerwhatever ... never. If I did, I would avert my eyes.

That time a video doesn't do the track justice because there is no hardtail shredder popping, pumping and gapping.

I love all these pot shots at the mega-companies soulless ordering of every bit and piece from unscrupulous piece part brokers in countries whose toxic sludge won't show up on our doorstep for a long time to come. It's extremely important to produce regionally with a mind toward the long term good of the people in the company.

Just sayin' but... Actual soil is precious in those parts. Why do all those kickouts and scrub it all off?
