Review on SHIMANO XT FH-M756L 32H 🔧 Rear Disc Hub with 6-Bolt Disc Mount by Jeremy Floyd

I am planning to use this to build a new wheel for my mountain bike to replace the stock wheel. Judging by the weight and feel of this hub, it seems pretty solid. Seems much more reliable than the stock hub on my bike. The price is quite high if you want to upgrade stock or replace a damaged hub. Anything Deore XT and up is better than stock when it comes to bike hubs. The only problem is that the hub radius is not true to size compared to my stock hub so I can't use it with my stock spokes. . I took it to my local bike shop to see how much it would cost to replace my standard hub with this one and they quoted me a price of just over $100! I figured it would be cheaper to find new spokes and a new rim and build my own wheel for half or less than half the price it would cost me to replace a hub at my local bike shop. I just have to watch a few tutorial videos on YouTube to understand how to build my own bike wheel. The packaging was terrible. They were just lucky that the product proved reliable enough to survive the shipment. Thin box, looks like it fell apart in transit! And it was wrapped in a padded USPS flat-rate envelope. I know I chose free standard shipping here, but c'mon, it's almost like they have a chimp working in the shipping department. Apart from the bad packaging, the delivery speed was fine. I ordered it on Monday and it came in the mail on Saturday.
