I searched, but couldn’t find any other threads.

I just saw these on ebay today… Not sure what to think.

Meh. The hubs look different than anything else but I’m not sure why anyone would try to beat the ubiquitous Mavic/Formula combo.

Besides the cutouts, which I don’t recognize, the hubs look exactly like the looseball Formulas that come stock on the Motobecane Messenger.

I’d rather have Mavic CXP22s laced to Formulas.

They actually tell you what the hub is right there. KT group, owners of the brand quando. They make a lot of oem hubs especially for bmx companies.

Not sure if you were talking to me, but I was saying that the ones that are crap are the ones that come stock with the Hours.

OEM wheels on cheap (value?) bikes are almost universally crap.

Holy crap that’s cheap. I might just have to snag a set of those to replace my fucked rear wheel while while I wait until I have the money to get CXP 30’s built up. Still don’t have hubs for them.
