I have several sets of Zeus hubs in use here, in fact I just polished up a pair like the ones in your link to build into new 650B wheels for my wife's bike. They're on the same level as Campagnolo Record or Dura-Ace, IMO, with nicely ground and polished races and smooth unanodized finish that takes a nice polish. One caveat: many Zeus hubs are metric freewheel thread, so look for "BSC" on the hub barrel to indicate English freewheel thread.
