Description At 1570 grams, these are great wheels for racing or any type of road riding. 5.0 mm stainless aero spokes, 27 mm deep V section rim. Comes with rim strips, skewers, and extra spokes.
Summary: I've cracked by second wheel neuvation R28 wheel...i've got one more left to crack. I loved these wheels until they rims cracked. The first one cracked after 6 months (racing) and the second one cracked after a year(no racing on these...just training) Neuvation did send out a new rim, but I still had to pay to have the wheel re-built. So far, so good.
Strengths: Stiff, rides great. if you can get a set that doesn't crack...it would be a great deal. Obviously, I was initially impressed because i bought 2 sets.
Weaknesses: have to replace or repair at 6-12 months. if you factor in the additional cost and the time without a wheel...not as good of a deal.

Summary: I have ridden these wheels for a year and a half. In August last year I sent them in for a warranty, as the rims cracked where the spoke joins the rim. John replaced this under warranty, and things were fine until I looked closely at the rims a week or two ago, and noticed that they were riddled with cracks, and that the rear has one large crack in them 2 inches long. Needless to say I am disappointed as these wheels clearly do not last.
The shocker though, was I rode this past weekend on borrowed wheels, and what a difference. There was a noticeable difference in the stiffness of these wheels compared to my nuevations, such that it improved my cornering on descents dramatically. I couldn't believe the difference.
The saying you get what you pay for seems to sum this up. Stay away from these wheels. Be warned. Cheap sometimes ends up being more expensive and aggravating.
Strengths: Price is not one when you have to go out and buy new wheels. Customer service doesn't count because I keep needing to send them back. It doesn't matter how nice they are when my bike sits at home without wheels. So none.
Weaknesses: Not stiff
Crack easily it appears
longevity?

Summary: I’ve been an avid cyclist for over 20 years and I would have to say, for the quality and cost, hands-down, Neuvation builds an excellent wheel!! The hub bearings are smooth and bullet proof. John (the owner) has truly engineered a superb line-up of wheel assemblies. The ride quality and speed is what you would expect in any well built top of the line wheel set. In the past, I use to build my own wheels. Neuvation has made that approach pointless. Neuvation’s website is intuitive and prices are rock bottom. Truly a cost saving without a compromise to ride quality and integrity.
Strengths: Engineering of the hubs, quality of the wheel assembly, cost.
Weaknesses: None- So far so good!

Summary: I registered for this site just so I could post on these wheels because I think the guys at neuvation deserve the credit. For the price you pay, these are the best value. I am riding the aero 4's are they're fairly light, just over 1600 grams for the set and they roll great. Already have taken some hard hits and still holding true. Also, everyone talks about the customer service....it's true. I emailed them about a question with my rear wheel. Thought there might have been a bad bearing or something. Without hesitating they sent a NEW rear wheel, and paid to ship the old one back. I was just asking a question, but a new wheel is fine too!
Strengths: light for the price. Best value out there. Customer service.
Weaknesses: Not a fan of the decals on the wheels. I removed them with the help of a hairdryer.

Summary: This is my 2nd set of Neuvation wheels and so far they are preforming as good as the last pair. Which is a testamont because the first pair have 10k miles on them and started just as my training wheels then ended up my all time wheels
Strengths: One of the truest wheelsets I have ever owned. 2 sets and over 12k miles and only once did I have true them after hitting a railroad crossing really hard.
The greates thing is they are much more durable then much much more expensive wheels, reasonable weight and they spin foreveeeeeeeeeer.
Weaknesses: Latest model stickers are b-tt ugly but they come off easy and the wheel is stealthy sublime then.
