And i have a Hazard Lt in the back. So my back wheel will be a Hazard lt + DT spokeys + Profile mini ss ANTIFREEZE. I have a slight obession with antifreeze profile products. I think i'm even going to waste hella money and buy the seatclamp just so i can have match parts...

The Balance 7K rims are insanely strong. Good pick, and the Primo hub is good, but see if you can get a Primo Pro not a Mix cassette. And DT or Mawri spokes.
My next wheel set is:
G-Sport Ribcage 36H Chrome R laced to a Profile mini(Antifreeze)
7KA black 36 F laced to a Hazard 14mm black(will be powdercoated Antifreeze)
Both Mawri spokes.

But, yea in 27yrs now of riding BMX I can find a product fast that either sucks or breaks fast(like the ODY Elementy stem). I went through 3 of them including 1 put on by an Ody tech. And all of them blew up on me. So, now I won't touch them, I run an S&M or Animal stem only.

I know lots of people with the elementary, and none of them have had a problem. I plan on getting one.

UPDATE! I talked to the guy i bought my wheel from today and he said that if Shadow didn't give me a whole new driver he'd hook me up with one for cost. Which is like $20-30, so i'll be sticking with my Shadow hub for now. But next time it decides to blow up, Profile it is.
I'll be getting that new wheel soon though. Along with some Fit gloves and a Coalition camo seat and a Fit post. My Shadow post slips alot now. I think i'm done buying Shadow parts.

I have to admit, despite the hype about thier seat breaking and being terrible, it's lasted while and hasn't even ripped. That's the only part i wouldn't mind getting antoher of...
Even though i allready ordered a Coalition seat!
