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.

looks like I tryed to fix it

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?

Cursed

Why's that?

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