Just got a front and rear hub from bike hub store, along with rims and spokes, built up but not yet ridden and bike not ready to go. The hubs seem much better than I expected. On my stand the front hub spins really well. The rear also seems very good, 6 pawls for the freehub and spins nice, quieter than the videos would have you believe. is it as good as my Campy 10 speed hubs, time will tell, but since Campy is getting out of the hub business, and i'd guess others will follow, we need alternatives. They look great in polished silver, even if the bearings wear out, they are common cartridge bearings so no issues getting them. Brandon at BHS is a good guy.
