hey guys, i have prety much destroyed my rear hub an di am looking at my options.
At the moment i am trying to choose between an AIREAL DH and a DICE HOODOO.
Can anyone tell me which would be the better option.
I ride mostly street and i ride fairly heavily. I run 24" wheels if that makes any difference.
Any help would be much appreciated.

judging by his poll choice hubs, he doesnt have the bucks to burn :twisted:
Seen/heard of too many Aireal rear hubs shitting the bed for me to ever want to run them, don't know anything about the Dice ones. Have you considered Tuff-Neck hubs? They're cheap, sealed bearings, come with 3 rear axles (10mm qr, 10mm bolt up, 12mm bolt up)... I *think* rrp is $165. Might be worth a look?

I'd go the dice......Aireal is going to shut down soonish so at least you will have some backup with dice ?

thanx for the input guys.
Jordy, where did u hear that about aireal?????
S. i haven't really considered tuffneck as i haven't really heard much about them at all, if anyone can give me some feedback on them it would be great.
I have been offered a DICE Roulette for $100 so i may take that, and also a SHIMANO XT for $109 (both new) so they are also options at the moment.
Any more feedback would be much appreciated

*may have just been a rumor* but It was told to me by Ashley Grundy one of their sponsored riders so he is in the know. he said they werent making enough cash out of mountainbike products compared to the other thing they make... (might've been taps??) and when they thought about closing it Jed did not want that to happen so they fired him, however *it may have just been a rumor*
