Thinking of getting a nukeproof front hub - I am assuming they are ok vs. Shimano etc?
No freehub to worry about so assuming if the bearings are ok they'll be fine.

Does anyone have any experience with them?

The bearings and sealing aren't great not aweful but not great.
When new they are really nice as expected but after some wet rides and washing with a hosepipe the bearings can suffer. If you do go for a NP hub take off the end caps and smear grease preferably waterproof grease over the outside of the bearings and if you can press the bearings out and do the inner sides as well.
They are quite nice hubs similar to hope in design but are let down by cheaper bearings although high quality aftermarket bearings are readily available.

Nice one - seems fair enough. If I'm honest it's the tart in me wanting a yellow hub...
