The hubs were excellent, and they roll incredibly quickly. I’ve always run chunky tires on my trail bike (if the shoe fits?), and I noticed I’d always roll slower than my buddies down pavement. With the We Are One wheels it seems no one can keep up, with the same tires. I'm not sure what's going here, but so much so that a few folks have commented. While the 218 point engagement of the Project 321 hub was nice, I personally don’t find a huge advantage with the increased engagement. I know loads of folks who LOVE high engagement hubs, so I get that it's a major feature for many, just not this simpleton.

During the Whistler EWS I had a strange issue. A stick got caught between the cassette and the spokes, which locked the cassette to the wheel. I had to ride out the stage like I was riding a fixed gear MTB. I couldn’t pull the stick out at the bottom. In a mild panic, due to tight transition times, I pulled the wheel off the bike. Without any tools I was able to remove the axle spacer, separate the cassette and freehub from the hub, remove the offending stick, and easily reassemble the wheel. The magnetic pawls made reassembly of the wheel easy. I share this anecdote to demonstrate how easy these hubs are to service, which I haven't had to do yet.

After 900 km of riding, with zero maintenance, the We Are One Agent wheels remain near friction-less with no play in the hubs.
