Forgot to mention that point. Is that brillant design or what? And the tool was a whole lot cheaper than a Campy corkscrew. Now if the French could just learn how to make decent beer (Alsace doesn't count as France in my book).

I picked up a wheel set with these hubs, they seem nice but from what I've read most people hate them. What exactly is the problem with them? They're sealed, are the bearings prone to failure?
