The Shimano XT M756 is the classic mountain disc hub. Its affordability mixed with durability, weight, and minimal rolling resistance makes this the ultimate hub for building reasonable priced and great quality wheelsets. Though newer generations of this hub are available, Shimano continues to offer this one. Here's why:
Loose ball bearings hubs create fast rolling wheels with very minimal resistance; smooth finish borozon treated races help to further minimize friction.
Double-contact seals keep the bearings clean from dust and dirt. Though these hubs are easily rebuildable, you won''t have to do it often.
The disc rear hub helps minimize dish in the rear wheel, allowing for a stronger wheel with more equal spoke tension.
