Wheels and hubs are very impressive.
The only problems with the pedals are a tendency to lose the dustcaps, and sometimes the retaining bolt on the spindle loosens as well and all those little needle bearings spill out on the road.
The hubs are nice. I built some wheels using them for my brother 30 years ago and they're still going strong.
