The Vault J-Bend is a simply incredible piece of kit. I built this into a brand new bike and I am blown away by how solid the wheels this hub has helped create. Living and riding in the Pacific Northwest, there's plenty of chances for things to go wrong, but this hub just ticks along quietly and has incredible engagement. The freehub isn't nearly as loud as you might expect, which I appreciate a ton. Plus they are pretty good looking to boot. Race Face customer service team also was incredibly helpful with some post purchase questions that I had. Cannot recommend these hubs enough.

I did enjoy the feel and ride of the hub. Unfortunately mine has got very poor durability and after not even 2.5 years developed play and has to be replaced. Bearings still feel brand new. Its a pity as I would have bought them again if it was not for the short lifetime

Great hub and that clicking sound beautiful

Good price point and immediate availability compared to other high end hubs - but it's only been a month. I'll get back in a couple years with what I hope is still 5 stars.
