I have a cheap MTB (Redline Zander, but really a re-sprayed Diamondback Overdrive) that came with low-grade wheels with Quando hubs. I re-packed and adjusted the hubs and think they're some of the smoother hubs I've owned. Now, my other bikes don't have Dura-Ace or anything like that, and maybe I just got lucky with mine, but the bearings are smooth, the 6-bolt disc flange is machined well and nice and straight (no wobbles), and I've generally been pleased with what are very likely $5-on-wholesale bicycle hubs.
