I have Formula hubs on my bike. Can't say much for the front but the rear hubs stink. Already had it replaced under warranty once and it's not sounding too healthy right now.
Oh, and welcome to the Forums! :)
Just found my old thread from when I trashed my rear hub.

Formula's work fine as front hubs. But I have never heard anyone say anything good about the rears...

No problems so far with my Formula hubs. Been using the Xero Lite wheelset for several mnths now. Hope mine doesn't break like yours did!
