The Shimano 333 hubs aren't as smooth or as nicely polished as my Campagnolo record hubs, but that's no big surprise. I bought both hubs used and repacked with new bearings both front and rear. They feel fairly smooth and they polished up decently with a little work with the polish. I really wanted to go high flange on this wheelset just for the look on the bike. The extra metal probably negates any advantage in spoke or rim weight over the old set I had, but I'm not going for a light weight bike by any means so no worries there.
