My experience only: I have that wheelset (Nashbar bought), running the rear as a single-speed setup (cog and spacers). They served me quite well for some 4000 miles running in all kinds of weather, the bike in question being my go-to bike for rain, much, slush and generally ****ty days. I serviced the hubs every 6 months. They've been relegated to the workbench for now, simply because I didn't have the time for a rebuild and I swapped in another wheelset.

The rims held up well under my 200+ lbs and country road commuting.

An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.
