I bought a pair of those in 1997. They are now on their second bike, and 4th pair of wheels. I've never touched the bearings and they are still rock solid and silky smooth.

The latest pair of wheels were built with Velocity Synergy O/C in the rear. The left and right spokes are the *same* length, thanks to that high left flange and the O/C rim.
