I have the Miche track hubs and they're very decent hubs for the money, however the only problem with the Miche hubs are the axles being more prone to rust, and the lockring made out of cheese, the axles on the cheaper System EX alternative is better.
as for the lockring, mine finally reach to the point that it's impossible to tighten it without the metal getting chipped, I later realise that the Phils one are italian threaded, I wonder if that will be enough for the Miche hubs.
quick question, I assumed italian threaded are ISO?

thought I'd update this, rode my miche rear hub for maybe 8 months and certainly less than 1000 miles and the bearings are rough as fuck and I don't even do a lot of leg braking or skidding. Seems pretty weak to me but maybe that's standard, anyway, anyone know what bearing replacements I need?

Miche Primato track hubs. Anyone used em?

I merely meant the 90's!
So, primato's have had many years of being around, being ridden & critiqued by customers.
Like I said, I think performance will be about the same. But the finishing on the generic taiwan hubs is not great - the machining is not smoothed out or polished. I dont think formula variants are particularly likely to crack, just more so than a solid hub with no cut-outs. Like gran compe or primato's
There must be a performance/strength/stiffness reason why the high-end hubs choose similar design. Dura-ace, phil wood, suzue, goldtec and the like.
Oh, and I do know that both campagnolo & shimano have gone low-flange now, but that is an entirely different matter.
