Heck!, in the 80's I was drooling for anything sealed bearing equipped as they were mostly considered better than loose bearing ones in most manufacturer's model lineups (No one can deny how nice and smooth a Mavic 500 series sealed bearing hubset rolls and seem to last forever)......Now I have sealed bearing everything on my Vitus.....even the Stronglight A9 headset on it is the newer cartridge bearing version, and I love it that I don't have to worry about servicing/regreasing the bearings in the future when I get caught in the rain......plus fiddly bearing cone adjustment is mostly a thing in the past for me
