Quando cartridge bearing hubs are no worse than similar priced Novatec. KT use the Quando brand in a region which overlaps Joy Industries low-end (Joytech) and mid-price (Novatec) brands, so Quando hubs tend all to get tarred with the brush of the really low end OEM crap, while Novatec manages to avoid being strongly associated with the equally crap Joytech product.
