I have 1 ½ sets of Tensile Trails hubs - was 2 but replaced one rear hub with an Alfine.
I've found it difficult to get the bolts done up tight enough to eliminate slipping (on the driveside of the rear wheel) but using a chain tug to prevent this is dead easy and possibly a good idea anyway.
Also found the original bearings didn't last too long. I think I changed the bearings in all 4 hubs but that was a while ago and my 3 hubs are still rolling nicely now.
Machining is of decent quality and the end cap set up is definitely a bit nicer than cones and locknuts as would be found on a male axle.
