Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: H-Works vs. Elitewheels Hubs | Seeking Long-Term Feedback & Heavy Rider Testers
« on: September 11, 2026, 02:21:17 AM »Hi, thanks for sharing — good to see that. It's probably the first feedback on Elitewheels hubs; I was expecting to see more, since they have a larger presence in the market.
Can I ask a couple of things?
1. How often do you service the hub?
2. Do you like the sound of the hub?
Regarding the testing, I'll send you a private message — please have a look when you get a chance.
Hey,
until now I have just opened the hub in May after Traka. I put new grease into the hubs. But usually I do not service them often. I have nerver serviced my DT Swiss 350 hub for my MTB and it still runs like on day one.
Getting used to the sound takes a bit of time. When I ride with friends they always complain that they are too loud. I would say it is okay if you get used to, but the hub is more kind of a louder hub. I would say the sound is comparable to a DT Swiss 240 but as a "cheap version". The DT has a kind of "crisp" sound and on the other hand the Elite hub has more kind of an "screaming" sound. It is hard to describe but I would say the DT Swiss 240 hubs are loud but the sound is a unique "good" sound, almost like a sign of quality, whereas the Elite Hubs are just loud...
Yeah you can contact and ask me anytime!!
Kind regards
Miwe
