I've got three sets of onyx hubs running at the moment and they've all been
pretty much faultless. The oldest is on my fatbike and is over two years old
now with no service and over 1000 winter time shit condition miles, along with
hauling either a bob trailer loaded with tools and chainsaw, or a rear rack
with a chain saw or hand tools during the summer. Very low gear with very
heavy loads and huge traction produce a lot of torque on the hub, and that
damn hub has not flinched. Feels, spins, and engages exactly the same as it
did on day 1. They are sealed very well and use ceramic hybrid bearings. It
was the promise of crazy strength and reliability that attracted me to onyx
for the fatbike. The other sets have been the same, one with more miles, but
the fatbike has seen the most abuse and far and away the worst conditions so
prob my best example for reliability.
