What gbj_tester said.
I may have to retract what I said about bearing size, it seems the Miche hubs take 6001c3 bearings which measure 12 x 28 x 8mm and Novatec use a 6000 which are 10 x 26 x 8mm so both have the same 16mm difference between inner and outer diameters and the same depth so presumably the same ball bearing size. If anything, the larger diameter of the cartridge in the Miche hubs may mean more balls are contained within the cartridge so they should be the more reliable of the two.
I still don't like the lack of shoulder though and, anecdotally/in my experience, the hardware on Miche hubs is more prone to corrosion than that found on Novatecs.

ok you're telling me something i don't quite know... it sounds to me like miche uses the same design as old vintage hubs (which is the only thing i know) BUT with sealed bearings... am i right? WHILE other hubs use another design i'm not aware of
what about novatecs?
@Skülly
