My current wheelset has some butta smooth Campy HF hubs, but I ride them in all weather. So, do I keep what I've got and get some Formulas for the winter/rain, get a Phil set for year-round goodness, or just learn to stop worrying and love what I've got?
Smooth? Nope. They have a huge drag from the bearing seals. Almost as bad as a looseball hub on a new walmart bike.
