Reading about the Vueltas needing new bearings and the Al freehub sucks makes me wonder why anyone would bother. Shimano wheels come with steel freehubs, proper bearings and still are lightweight.
Haven't heard of anyone having issues with the bearings on Vuelta wheels. Mine still spin forever and I've never done anything to the bearings.
