Aluminum vs. Steel Freehub

[aviserated]

My Trek Rail 5 came with a steel Freehub which I am sure I much stronger and less prone to wear caused by Steel cassette. BUT, my new Spank wheel came with aluminum Freehub with a single steel anti bite section built in. Will this Freehub hold up against higher torque of ebike. What is your experience using aluminum alloy Freehub on ebike? Does aluminum hold up OK?

BTW my freehub is HG design.

Yes is the answer, but longer term will likely show more ware.

I have been running a set of stairs Swiss with alloy freehub for 4 Years now and whilst the ware of quite visible they are going strong with no issues.

Thanks moderator that's good to know. Spank offers all steel Freehub option, but out of stock everywhere.
