I have them and had to pay to get them rebuilt when they shook themselves apart in a 50 kms. Nashbar told me the build wasn't warrantied and that I could have sent them back if I thought they were defective; then they gave me the option of sending them back at my expense to have them rebuilt, which would be free if they determined it was a build problem and not an abuse problem.

The description on the page is the same as the ones I bought in March, but caveat - mine dind't come with a lockring (Nashbar sent one two weeks later after I called), and they were fixed/free, not fixed fixed.

The track nuts are cruder and softer than the ones on my Kogswell hub. One seized together.

A locknut broke in half - this was warrantied, but with the wrong part - they sent me four front wheel axle nuts.

None of this was under abusive conditions and I never crashed.

Also stripped the hub. Jury's out as to whose fault that was.

Not recommended. Even if IROs are just factory-built Velocitys, they stand by their stuff, to such a ridiculous degree that Tony offered to fixed my trashed Formula wheel.
