It was pretty clear to me that the Joule hub I serviced was not worth being serviced by any shop... the hub itself only cost $50; it would be cheaper to simply replace it. The SP hubs are more expensive, and the economics of repair might be more favorable. I'll probably take a stab at repairing mine myself when the time comes. Thanks to Scott's impressive work, I believe it's possible.
