Strengths: Very smooth and light weight. Climb like no other wheel i have tried.Weaknesses: None at all.Bottom Line: I have used Neuvations for 2 years now. I can't find a wheel out there that is as smooth and fast as these wheels. I just got a pair of mavic cosmic and the neuvations are lighter in weight. Amazing wheel!!!

Strengths: Lighter, stiffer, and much better hubs than stock wheelset; modern profile.Weaknesses: Other than the model decals that most will take off, haven't found any gripes.Bottom Line: So the reviewer below is disappointed the rear needs rebulding for $65 after 6000K; by my calculation that's 60 metric centuries on that rear, correct? Seems to me for a low cost, light weight, fast spinning wheel that's a deal I'd take all day long.
I've had these less than a year, but very pleased. Maybe it's not a true race wheelset, doesn't have a 10 year life expectancy, but they're fast, light, stiff, responsive for me...and I won't mind a rebuild when the time comes. And, they run amazingly true and are aero.

Strengths: Durable with reasonable weight to cost.Weaknesses: Can't really think of any that wouldn't apply to any wheel set.Bottom Line: My CAT2 son is the one who actually rides these. I'm just the wallet and wrench. LOL We first bought these because the price to weight ratio was what we could afford. He trained and raced for the first full year on these wheels with a powertap. At the end of the first year the PT had to go back to Saris for service and the rim needed more than I could give it in terms of truing but it was still very ridable. I emailed Neuvation and they said that they'd take a look at the rim and send the PT to Saris for us then rebuild the wheel and send it back. So I sent the thing out and they did exactly what they said that they would. What we got back was a brand new wheel which has lasted another year of training and racing. Though this wheel set isn't the only set that he has now, it is his primary set because of the powertap. It's worth pointing out that all I paid for in this deal was the shipping to Neuvation.

Strengths: I would like to say cost,but a spoked pair of training wheels will most likely last longer than these.Bottom Line: My rims have developed cracks around the spokes. I also called Neuvation and they offered me the same "Wheel rebuild deal" as others have found. There must be issues with rim quality to have to offer this service. There is play in the rear wheel which undoubtably will lead to a premature wearing of the hub(no amount of tightening will remedy it and was actually told "Zipps have the same play",as the aluminum on these wheels is of low quality.
At most these wheels are for training and not really for racing. Anyone who wants to consider these raceable wheels most likely never has ridden a quality high end race wheel. Unfortunately John no longer deals with customers and I believe this will cost him in the long run. Remember.....you get what you pay for.
