New wheelset vs bought wheelset

[Hairy]

Captain, this was not an attack on your favoured brand. I have never seen those hubs so I have no opinion on them. I wanted to give the OP a method for selecting reliability. If he considers the source to be good, spares readily available and is prepared to put up with 4 days plus shipping, then all's well and fine.

 

I specifically didn't mention the bearings since they will almost certainly be standard cartridge bearings available anywhere I the world.

 

I don't see where my advice is BS.

JB when you are next in CT let me know and I will show you.
