Review on Techlite Wheels Carbon Tubular Complete Wheelset, 38-Inch/Medium, Black/Black: Unrivaled Performance and Sleek Design by Jason Melvin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Light and well built but the hub sucks

I glued my tubs together only to find the hub is an old Shimano 10 speed hub that is no longer used. Carefully! You will either have to replace the bushing or grind the splines. This should have been mentioned in the product description. I'm very upset as this means more downtime. I deducted two stars for improper use of the case. Novatec hubs for Techlite wheels use a 15mm rear axle. An 11-speed Novatec Type B2 hub fits. All Novatec bushings are the same length, the difference is in the width of the lip. The B2 socket comes with its own washer, be sure to use this.

Pros
  • Sport
Cons
  • I keep calm
