Yes there not worth a pinch of shit , changed to Hope and have not had a problem since and there isn't any distributor here to get spare parts for them.

There is actually nothing wrong with the hubs in general, but the pawls on the inside wear alot more quickly then say a hadley or hope. When the pawls wear they don't engage on the teeth properly and it will start to slip under power.

Good news is it is cheap to fix, bad news is you can not get parts in Australia, but you can get them from overseas.

Changing them once you have parts is really, really easy.

I've been running a ringle hub for over a year now and it has seen many tough DH and free ride stuff, even done a lap of oz, and i have had no problems at all, except for how bloody noisy they are..... at least the wild life will hear you coming :D
