Starting out with a rider's comments ......

John,
This is just a quick note to let you know once again how awesome the wheels are I purchased from you early last year. I rode them in over 25 race events including races in 5 southern states as well as the Downers Grove National Criterium Championships in Illinois where I placed 3rd. After all of that not once have I had to touch them with a spoke wrench. Truly a testament to their quality
considering as I have mentioned before that I am a hefty fella at over 6ft and over 200 pounds. I think I have finally got some of my teammates on the Neuvation band wagon and so far at least one other racer (out team president) Jeff Dorminey has ordered a set.

Thanks again for a great super tough product and an awesome value.

Super fast race wheels.  If you want to buy speed this is one way to do it.  The 50 mm deep carbon US made rim is only 430 grams.  Most of the riders on the Pro Tour use these as their go to wheel for stage racing and criteriums because when you get over speeds of 25 MPH aerodynamics are 80% of the equation.  If you already go fast and don't use these, they will make you faster.
  • Rim: 50 mm carbon tubular rim 430 grams. 24H
  • Stainless Sapim double butted spokes.  Alloy nipples on the non drive side and brass chrome plated nipples on the drive side
  • 260 gram hub uses two 6901 precision cartridge bearings in the alloy cassette body and a 6901 and 6902 in the hub itself.
  • 830 grams (weight without quick releases)
  • With quick release skewer (57 grams each).
  • 700C tubular

Now for the bad news. Most people will tell you that if you’re 200 pounds you stand a good chance of cracking these wheels when you hit pot holes. They require special brake shoes which wear incredibly fast due to the hardness of the carbon. Brakes don’t work as well on them. They are a lot more fragile than alloy wheels. Even the pros don’t train on them. My average speed is about 16 mph and these wheels would be a waste of money for me. If I were going 25 mph in a race these wheels would buy me speed. It’s that simple.

Special offer: Since it’s very possible to trash a rim, I am offering a special rim replacement deal of $250 to replace a Neuvation C50 rim if you break it. This does not include spokes if they’re needed. Contact me for details.

IMPORTANT: Carbon wheels require special brake pads which are included with the wheels.
