do these drive anyone else nuts? they last only 1-3 months for me.

what's a good cheap durable non-shimano hub?

Instead of replacing the deore freehub body with another one of the same, put on an XT freehub body, they are somewhat more durable and should last quite a bit longer.

I had a deore hub,

Blew the freehub in a month.

Replaced withan XT that blew in 2 months.

I went through 4 before replacing the hub with a DT Swiss Hugi Freeride.

It has been awsome and very reliable, no problems. Not cheep though.

For inepensive stick with shimano.

Wadda you expect for 60 bux? Cheap doesn't equal durable.

Formula is the way to go. had it for over a year with no problems at all and i even got it used.

Being an agoraphobic adrenaline junkie would be pretty convenient, because you could get your rush from just going to the store to get some milk instead of having to jump off a mountain or out of an airplane.
