a friend of mine has the level hubs. he said they were "clicky" (noise) and that there was a little play in the cog. he called level and they sent him a replacement (trial) but not the axle bolts. his where too long, and it took forever for level to get back to him about it. as far as i know this was all straightened out (he's riding the temporary replacement while his is being looked at). not biased. just sayin'. i do think they are ugly, though. but i also think the high flange phils are hideous as well.
