I imagine that one day I'm going to wear through one or other brake track, but since Rolf don't support them (and maintain that parts are not interchangeable with current Rolf Primas), I'll be faced with consigning the otherwise excellent Hugi hubs to the parts bin and seeking a replacement wheelset. Not wild about spending a grand on a pair of Campagnolos - may end up with a pair of custom wheels, but even these are likely to be ~$500 anyway
Well, this is exactly where I'm at. I like them - they're attractive, they match the bike, and they've stayed true. And the front one is no issue.
On the other hand I don't want them to fail while I'm in a hard corner. And if they're really doomed, I'd like to be out in front of it before it actually happens.
