I'm not sold on cranks/BBs being all the same. Had a harder time sorting front mech rub issues on my FSA SLK cranks than my Red ones, though the FSA hardly feel flexy
Hubs on the other hand. My fixed's rear axle barely turns when out of the bike, the bearings are so shagged. But put it all together and the wheels still go round when I make with the pedalling, doesn't feel like a dragging brake would. I'm sure I'd notice the smoothness of a hub that isn't completely fucked, but I doubt I could tell blind between a novatech and a royce on the road.
