Right - Saint hub #3 is now dead as well. That's 3 in 9 months.
Am I;
A) Super hot rider that pushes Saint to and beyond it's limit?
B) Doing something wrong?
C) Cursed.

Super Hot !..or maybe not I wasnt that impressed with my Saints either, turned a bit notchy quickly and almost impossible to maintain unless you love chasing tiny ball bearings across the floor !.. For comparison my cheapo Superstars are still almost perfect although I did replace all the sealed bearings for some higher spec ones quite early on. I love Saint (and the newer Zee) stuff but wouldnt bother with their hubs..or their ugly pedals. What cassette are you using ?, i would of thought its hard to do the damage you have done. |

The cassette is a SRAM 1070. Evans are getting one more shot then it's out the door! I just wanted to know if I've done anything wrong but I just can't see it - this is the third one now! |

The third one. All with the same cassette ? seems to be a bit too much of a coincidence ? Sent from my GT-I9505 |

Not all the same cassette - I've changed that since I went over to the SAINT side BUT I have to be honest and say I think it's too much of a coincidence! |

Does seem too much of a coincidence. Was going to say it might be caused by incorrect torquing. Not under tightened as you'd see lots of notching on the freehub body and I can't seem much on yours. Got to give the Superstar Switch hubs a +1 as well. Original bearings are cheese but fit some decent ones (chap on eBay does full branded sets for a good price) and they've been rolling a while now, have got quite a bit of notching on the freehub though even though it's torqued correctly. Used SRAM and XT cassettes. |

Dont suppose you took a picture of it with the casette on before you pulled it apart, or even just after you fitted it up? |

It'll help see what maybe causing the damage... |
