To sum, it talks about the failure of Campy Pista Record hubs being used on the road and that they will not be under warranty if something goes wrong off of the track.

I'm thinking about building a new wheel set and was planning on using either Record or Dura Ace track hubs. Is this a bad idea? Should I use regular road hubs as I plan to use the bike 99% of the time on the road?

Has anyone experienced any of the above problems?

Please advise.

If you plan on riding in the rain or in wet conditions you might want to look one of the many fixed hubs which were designed to be ridden on the road and not the track.
