Strengths:    This review applies to ss wheels built with White disc hubs, ENO rear, with a White freewheel.
Very smooth running hubs. Freewheel engages immediately. No maintenance.

Weaknesses:    none to report

Bottom Line:   
I ride in New England, two hours a day, six days a week, rain or shine. When the snow is deep enough I skate ski. Today the temperature was around ten, and windy. Last summer was wet. One afternoon I went out in a downpour, that worsened to the point that I needed a headlamp at mid-afternoon. The trail was a river. For two hours I rode in these conditions. I have never done more than hosed my bike down when returning from whatever the day on the trail left pasted on it. Today it's ice. All summer it was mud, and in the fall it was leaves mixed with mud. I can't say I have ever had dust on my bike. These hubs and the freewheel have performed flawlessly. When I needed another rear wheel, I went with White. No complaints. Just brilliant performance. I don't want to waste time fussing with my bike, and I don't want to have a mechanical off in the woods at night when snow is flitting through the trees. Except for the time the Salsa broke on me- I rode out with a broken downtube- I've had no issues with the setup, and I am building another bike with White Hubs, freewheel, and crankset. So you could say that I am sold on the company's products based on my experience with their hubs and freewheel.

Date Reviewed: August 29, 2008

Strengths:    Quality, strength, choice of steel or titanium driver/spline and a better price than other high end made in US hubs. 15 mm. axle for legacy quick release.

Weaknesses:    None.

Bottom Line:   
Super hubs with no soft aluminum splines to get chewed up. The option to have polished metal is also nice because that's the traditional sign of quality for us old farts.
