Strengths: Light!!!! Impressed with the hubs and bearings.Weaknesses: umm for me NONE so far.Bottom Line: HELL YA!! I added the Ceramic Bearings to these from John. I mainly ride them in my local weekly crit, but have also done longer road races and traing rides with them. THEY ROCK. I was giggling like a little school girl for the first 5 miles i rode them. They are soooo light it was amazing. If you are looking for a light set of tubular wheels this is it!! mine weighed in (without sqrs @ <1200 gms!!
Sure I am small, 5' 5" < 137lbs but I know these wheels can take more.

Strengths: Strong, light, smooth and reasonably priced within their category.Weaknesses: None that I have been able to find!Bottom Line: Here is the follow-up to my initial impression review. I have been pounding these wheels for a season and they have been trouble free, fast and remain true. I have not had to touch them! I am on the heavy side(185#) for these wheels but they are holding up great. The hubs continue to amaze with their smoothness. All things considered, a great alternative to Zipp's at a lower price..

Strengths: Smoooooth hubs! Well built, light, aero, stiff, subtle/attractive decals that don't scream at you.Weaknesses: None; at this level you can only spend more.Bottom Line: I discovered these wheels when I was looking for an alternative to Zipp; I like their rims but have had build quality issues previously. Called Neuvation, spoke with John who is the owner. I have been riding for almost 20 years and have been an equipment geek the entire time; I was impressed over the phone with the knowledge that John conveyed so I ordered a set. The wheels arrived a few days later; they look really nice, the hubs are the smoothest rolling I have EVER seen and I have spun a lot of hubs over the years. The service manager at my LBS was equally impressed which says something as well. After a few short rides my initial impression is very good; it's winter here so only short rides so far. I like the front wheel being laced 1-cross as it seems to add a little stiffness. In general these wheels seem to be a little stiffer than the other 303 rimmed wheels I have ridden. Summary: a great wheel at a great price. I will post again when more miles have been racked up.
