Strengths: Lightweight, smooth rolling and I think the decals do look ok.Weaknesses: None so far but my first century will be coming up in a month. That will test how they work out.Bottom Line: Everything I have read said to upgrade wheels first. I have been riding my 05 Trek 1000 quite a bit doing duathlons and charity rides. I love the bike and have made some changes in equipment over the last year and finally got around to swapping out the wheels. I really didn't think wheels would make that much difference but my Neuvations shaved almost a full pound and ride exceptionally smooth. My stock Alex AT450's have been workhorse wheels but it was time to upgrade to something else. I bought the Neuvation M28 on ebay and have been very happy with them thus far.

Strengths: Top notch customer service directly from John. Bullet-proof training wheels that stay true and LAST!Weaknesses: Too much "Neuvation" bling, but the stickers come right off.Bottom Line: Absolutely bullet-proof wheels. I started out at 260 pounds, and these wheels survived my training with them to get to 200 pounds. Only after 5 years of hard use did I start breaking spokes (2 over two weeks on the rear), but John Neugent took the old rear back and sold (cheap) a reconditioned rear, which has continued to serve me for the past year.

Strengths: Look good, light weight, responsive customer serviceWeaknesses: Product quality and durability (rims, spokes, hubs) are questionable, especially for larger riders or rough roadsBottom Line: I am 6'5" 220 lbs. and have broken three R28 spokes, split one R28s and a replacement M28 rear wheels and replaced one faulty hub. These are not the wheelsets for larger riders or rough roads. They simply don't hold up over time and regular (non-abusive) use. I guess you get what you pay for...light is not necessarily durable. $300 (plus rebuild costs) down the drain. They definitely need a disclaimer for heavier riders.

Strengths: customer support, affordable, well-built, efficient, attractive-did I already mention customer support?)Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: These wheels are nice. They were given to me form a friend of mine who was given a Bianchi with these wheels on them. I sold my Ksyrium Elites and have been very happy so far. The wheels felt like the Forte Titans that I had on my old Trek aluminum. They even look like them. The previous owner had removed all of the stickers but they still had the Neuvation skewers on them. After going online, I discovered that these wheels were the M28 aero wheels. I contacted Mr. Neugent ( who returned my e-mail within ten minutes) and ordered new stickers for the wheels. They arrived the day after i ordered them!!! Now that is great service!!!!! According to the other reviews, good customer service is an everyday thing at Neuvation. These wheels are eqivalent to my old Ksyrium Elites, but at a fraction of the cost. Even more frightening is the fact that the Supergo brand KORSO and Performance brand FORTE TITAN are rebadged Neuvation M28 Aeros at an even lower cost. No wonder these wheel were so familiar to me!! In fact, the Performance bike shop's computer has Neuvation as the maker of these wheels. Personally, I'll stick with the Neuvation brand. The decals look better and John Neugent's customer service is second to none. Even bike shops (the one's that I've gone to)say good things about Neuvation wheels. They may weigh a little more than some aero wheels but I'm 200lbs and they work just fine for me.
