I really thought they were great hubs which is why I stockpiled them back in the day.
I have built some of these into wheels and I have been impressed with how long they have held up. They still spin freely even after long use.
Agreed. I am still riding a set of Suntour Sealed Bearing hubs, on their second set of wheels, that I purchased and built when I worked at South Side Cycle and Mower (a Schwinn Shop) in the early '80's. They would have been ARx level, as they were less expensive than Shimano 600 at the time. They still spin like a dream!!
