Try to source replacement cones and/or cups in a third world country and then come talk to me about durability. I can get replacement bearings for my hubs easily, not likely with cones and cups. I have seen XT hubs cannibalized or just thrown away because their owners couldn't find a way to keep them rolling after a piked ball bearing destroyed the surfaces.
