I'm looking to change the cassette for my BMX, I really like the noise, so at first I thought about an elite racing one, but it's extremely expensive here in Brazil, so I was looking for a cheaper option that still made noise, I saw the colony wasp, I heard a lot of people saying that the version of it with a female axle is no good for those who use cranksets, because it warps the screws, so I would have to convert to a male axle, but that's not the focus, besides this problem, does this hub have any other problems? Like looseness in bearing seats, premature wear or something else?
I remember someone telling me that there was a colony cube that was useless because it gave too much play.

I ran one for like 2-3 years and held up pretty nice, it was the female axle version as well.
Eu tenho o meu à uns 6 anos ou mais, ele é um otimo cubo, nunca troquei nenhum rolamento, nem as contra porcas espanaram.
Lembre-se que é um eixo femea, por mais que eu tenha usado com pegs não foi nada tão pesado. Sempre cuidei a parte interna, nunca usei graxa nos macaquinhos dentro, só óleo, algo tipo um cotonete molhado na ponta só e passei dentro pra fazer barulho.
Nunca tive folga, eu teria outro facilmente, o barulho é lindo e o cubo não da dor de cabeça nenhuma. Muito confiável.
