Strengths: Good price point. Good customer personalized support.Weaknesses: Constantly going out of true, constant spoke breakage. Slow rolling hub.Bottom Line: I bought these with great expectations but had so many problems with them, I had to ditch them and buy a set of Fulcrum wheels. I have never looked back. Unfortunately, the positives don't outweigh the negatives. I would never recommend Neuvations and am hesitating to even use as backups.

Strengths: Looks, Cheap, Fairly LightWeaknesses: Cheap Build, Fatique, Broken SpokesBottom Line: I bought two sets of the M28's for regular road riding. Luckily a spoke broke on rear wheel when I was riding and when inspecting broken spoke I noticed stress cracks on 10 other nipple holes. I decided to check the rear wheel of the second older set of M28's and it to had stress cracks.I rode each set for over just a year. I am grateful they didn't fail on a downhill going over 50 mph. Can't recommend these wheels to anyone in my club because I feel they may be unsafe to ride.
Favorite Ride: La Domestique Cafe Dundas

Strengths: Nice looking wheel set, relatively light. Rides very well.Weaknesses: Rear wheel failed completely at about 5k miles. Numerous cracks around rear spoke holes. The M28's seemed like a great deal but for me failure occurred at 18 months. I would rather invest in higher spoke count wheels that will last.Bottom Line: Good customer service. John offered to replace rim for $60 but I would pay shipping both ways. I decided to put that money towards a hand built wheel set instead.

Strengths: good customer service.Weaknesses: Having to experience the good customer service on a regular basis due to failures. IMO the spoke count is such that the required drive side tensioning combine with a rider who can generate a lot of torque power is to high for hub design and will result in metal fatigue and eventual failure. Who knows,these may never fail under casual riding conditions.Bottom Line: While the customer service has been excellent I am done with having to send wheels back to be rebuilt because of hub flange failure. I am very leary of riding these wheels for fear of having one of these things come apart on a descent or pack riding. I now have to inspect around the eyelets for stress fractures before every ride. The most recent failure actuallly had fractures at every eyelet and one section completely failed throwing 2 adjacent spokes. One rear wheel lasted about 4K miles the other lasted 3K.I too am done with my Neuvation experience

Strengths: Price, durability and customer serviceWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: I have owned a set of these for over 3 years and have raced and trained on them. They roll smooth and pretty aero. I had an issue with the hub and to my surprise it was warrantied even after as many years as I have ridden it. Great customer service. I would suggest these to anyone to train on or even a budget minded racer.
