I can definitely vouch for the Suzue sealed (6sp) hubs that were on cb400bill's, and then my, and now sloar's, Centurion Semi Pro. Almost the identical hubs, labeled Suntour, were on my Lotus Classique, and yes, I'd say "awesome" is an apt description (and I dislike the over-use of "awesome.") The hubs, however, did pretty much defy descriptions other than "zero defects, spin smooth, quiet, etc etc etc."
As far as Suntour's ball bearing hubs, I just finished a nice 3 hours in the garage.
1-Repacked and adjusted a Suntour GPX front hub.
2-Ditto the rear, Suntour GPX 6/7sp.
3-R Suntour GPX pedal, and
4-L Suntour GPX pedal.
It certainly appears Suntour used good basic stuffand kept it smooth and simple.
It all cleaned up very well and went back together like new.
During the last couple of months, I'm sort of re-visiting Suntour.
It has occurred to me to try an XC long-cage RD with a wider freewheel.
Of course, the black Superbe Pro on Henry III's Cannondale would be...um, "awesomer."
