For the money they are good. Bearings can be hit and miss but they are standard size so not hugely expensive to replace.

They're OK.
Not brilliant but OK.

Only real issue I had with mine was the cassette wearing away/eating into the splines on the freehub It hasn't really done that much damage, but can make removing/refitting the cassette harder than it needs to be.

Depends on price though, If I was spending round the £100 mark I'd find it difficult to look past the excellent Fulcrum racing T wheelset from Merlin.

That is because it is an alu freehub body rather than steel, so it is softer but lighter than a lower end freehub body.
