    Hello all,

    I just wanted to post an update on the Neuvation wheels I purchased last month. www.bike.com recently reveiwed a different set of Neuvations (R350) as well as 3 other higher priced wheelsets. Ineterstingly the Neuvations at a MSRP of $375 ranked 2nd best in most of the 4 reviewer's eyes. I'd post the review but I see the bike.com website is experiencing some problems today. Personally, I am very pleased with the appearance and function of the wheelset. Although the skewers take a little bit of time learning how to use once you do they're quite convienent. I have also found John Neugent, the owner of the company, to have a high standard of customer service. He typically responds within an hour of e-mailing him and stands 100% behind his products. I highly recommend anyone with a limited budget for wheels to check the Neuvations out.

    P.S. I wanted to post a pic of my bike with the wheels but the file size was too big 🙁

    james,

    i have the korso wheels as supplied on my supergo CFR.

    there is at least 3 wheelsets of the same design under diff manufs names.
    this is the 20 rear and 16 front radial.
    the neuvation you mentioned, korso by supergo, and forte by performance
    i think all 3 are approx $200/set. there may also may be more.

    you are RIGHT about john at neuvation. very nice and helpfull.

    without busting anyones info disclosures, i will tell you this:

    the korso's i have look exactly like the neuvations. on the neu site:
    john offers replacement and "upgrade" (abec-5) kits for his wheels.
    i asked about using the kit or my korso wheels.
    johns reply: yes, they will fit perfectly. (wink, wink) 😉

    i ran the korso for approx 1000 miles before the weather changed,
    and i found them to be great wheels, esp at the bargin pricing.
    was true, stayed true, no probs at all.

    CAUTION- one thing to remember: it is VERY unlikely that
    you can walk into a shop a find a spoke in the parts bin.
    obviously, use anything that fits to get home on, but...
    getting some spares on hand requires 3 diff: front and R&L rear.
    john indicated that he could help on the spares, nice guy.
