Our team RACES Boyd wheels. RACES and we haven't had one single dang issue with the hubs. I personally have three sets of them. 30 alloy, 38mm carbon tubulars and 50 mm carbon tubulars. That's just me. We have about 10 total sets of Boyd wheels and probably 5 sets racing at any given race. Zero issues. We range from alloy to 38 tubulars, 50 tubulars, 58 tubulars, 88 tubulars, 50 clinchers and 58 clinchers. ZERO ISSUES. We road race, crit race, TT and X race them.
We just podiumed with them on July 2nd. We have had an excellent experience with them and hope to continue.
I'll admit that we do have one team member that has the 30mm alloy Williams he bought BEFORE we switched to Boyd and he had a problem with his front hub. It's always felt loose but with zero adjustments there isn't much to do.

If you buy Boyd wheels you will be the gear guinea pig on this. Keith says Boyd is a good guy, he thinks Boyd will back his product.
That is all.
