I've a notion for another wheelset for my El Mariachi (I might then convert the current one to tubeless). I was looking around for hubs that do QR, 15mm and 20mm (like my Pro2s) and wondered if these Teslas were any good and how noisy the freehub is.

Also - are the Superstar built wheels any good or should I roll my own?

Got a set of Sentinel custom builds about to go on my new build - seem well tensioned, tight and true.

On the old bike I had a set of Switch Evos built onto Alex Supra 30 - in a year of UK & European Enduro racing they needed on retrue and a couple of replacement spokes, but ran beautifully.

They seem to have the usual Superstar attention to detail, quality control and customer service that you would expect.

Very Hit and miss as to what the % are no idea

Freehub is noisier than the Switch, but not as noisy as a Hope - somewhere in the region of an American Classic/Sun Ringle I'd say.

I may just have been lucky, but no problems here with telsa hubs/sentinel rims
