Have been considering upgrading my wheel-set to Hunt 4 Season (rim-brake), however I've seen quite a bit of negative commentary online.
For example the bike mechanic on Cade Media:

said to avoid as they get tons of problems with them.
Hambini also gave them the thumbs down:

It appears the main issue is bearing/hub failure.
I do find the general spec. and look of the wheels very appealing but I'm a sucker for design, branding and marketing hype.
Perhaps a custom build using the same hubs but alternative bearings is an option.
I'm on a budget so anything over the cost of the 4 Seasons are not going to be an option, I'm also a heavy rider.
Should I take my chances on the Hunts or avoid?
Suggestions and opinions welcome.
