Strengths: - durable
- cheapWeaknesses: - heavy
- a little bit on the loud side (as every Campagnolo hub)Bottom Line: Rear Veloce hub is one of the most durable components I had on my bikes ever. It refuses to break. Yes, it is heavy and loud but on the other hand it is cheap and maintenance free. Put it on and forget about it. Top pick for strong training wheel or wheel for winter rides. If you are not looking for cool looking or weight weenie part you can't go wrong with it. If you are get yourself a Record.

Strengths: They are cheap and they workWeaknesses: cheesy plastic bits on skewers, polish isn't up to usual Campy standards but hey would have to charge more if they were, very loud when freewheelingBottom Line: It is hard to go wrong with Campy these days. Everything seems to work great, even their low end stuff. When I went from 7 speed friction to 9 speed index shifting I purchased Veloce down tube shifters, rear derailleur, chain, and a $200 set of Veloce wheels that came with Mavic aero rims and a 13-26 cluster. It is amazing how much quality you can get in low end parts these days! The only annoying thing about these hubs are that they are very noisy when freewheeling. Of course all Campy hubs share this trait.
Favorite Ride: Hotter 'n Hell Hundred
Purchased At: Ebay
Similar Products Used: Campy Record, Shimano Dura Ace, Shimano 600EX, Durham Bullseye, SunTour Cyclone, Specialized sealed bearing, Suzue, Normandy, etc.
Bike Setup: 20 year old Cinelli with mix of vintage Campy Super Record and newer Veloce parts.

Strengths: Cheap, Looks OKWeaknesses: Noisy freewheel, CorrosionBottom Line: Although the hubs work adequately, the rear is really badly corroded, pieces are just flaking off it. It's on the bike which I ride to work on every day so it sees some pretty bad weather and salty roads in the winter. I think that I will have to replace it soon as there is not much left outside the spoke holes. I will probably go for Royce or Hope as these have a reputation for being bomb proof.
Favorite Ride: Anywhere quiet in the coutryside
Price Paid:
$50.00
Purchased At: Parker International
Similar Products Used: Campag Record, Athena
Bike Setup: George Longstaff made top measure frame with mixed Campag equipment (mostly athena)

Strengths: DurabilityWeaknesses: WeightBottom Line: After two years and 6-7K miles, I never had to touch it or grease it yet. I've changed cassettes once and there's no sign of notching on the freewheel. It's a bit noisier than the Record hub.
It's mated to a Ambrosio rim. I got a set of Speeddream wheels for racing, so the Veloce set is now used for training.
Favorite Ride: Mt. Lemmon
Purchased At: Full Cycle
Similar Products Used: Record rear.
Bike Setup: Veloce group, King headset, Icon stem, TTT bar, Reynolds fork, Easton seatpost
