>Chicago, Illinois I had a pair of low-flange hubs with "Miche" on the shells and "Cycle Pro" on the crude Campy-copy QR levers. These were the ONLY hubs I ever had fail so suddenly and miserably: the spoke heads pulled right through the rear hub flanges when I was giving it a little out of the saddle gas up a hill in Marin county, had to walk home in my cleats...then in my socks...then barefoot. It has soured me on Miche to this day, though I am mighty impressed with the apparent quality of their track hubs, at an impressive price, too!
