Yeah, used hubs and wheel sets are risky too. I think the BB is more risky because they are more exposed and more likely to have been abused by poor installation (lack of facing, over pre-loaded, no drainage etc) and maintenance. It's more difficult to install a hub in a frame in such a way that just riding it will fuck its gubbins up.

Technically, so is buying second-hand hubs. The question is whether they're built for longevity or not.
