Message: What happened to the hub Paul? I ask 'cause I've a couple of DT rears and, so far, they've been fine. No broken spokes either.Well.....first of all the hub had that problem when it freezes up and disengages, which was rather disappointing in a new bike......then after about 1200miles it just disintegrated inside......sounded horrible!  Replaced it with a Hope ll, which is supposed to be considerably more robust.My last broken spoke must have been on the South Downs randonee when I was taking it very easy on the descents and don't recall any major impacts!You'd think having rear suspension would help avoid broken spokes.....I nver had one in ten years of 'occasional' hardtail riding.
