My Atlantis has Mavic A719 rims with nearly 30k miles on them. Still round & true after 6+ years of general riding, loaded touring and off-road bashing. Rear hub is the Shimano Deore XT cassette that came on the bike 10 years ago. I service it every year or 2. I'm in southern California so a pretty easy climate on hubs; if you commute in Washington the weather will be a lot harder on stuff.
