Worth the money: wheels and accessories

Not 5 stars but the rear rim was a bit unbalanced. The actual tire was also defective, the outer tread was dented during rotation (not linear). I rode it about 50 miles with the 1x9 transmission.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Great product for the price.

I took them to my local bike shop to have them checked and they were almost spot on. The tape inside had to be cut slightly as a small piece was sticking out of the tire. After a very light cut of the tape they sealed well and work great.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • The list goes on.

Poor quality control or packaging

I wanted to like these wheels but was disappointed when I placed the cassette on the rear hub and found the cassette wobbled - a clear sign of a bent axle. This can be a quality control issue. But most likely it was in the box - there was some damage to the inside of the box wall from the spacers, but I didn't think the hub could be damaged until I installed the cassette.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Minor issues

Novatek hubs are complete bullshit.

The second time I had a simple accident on these plates. That's not unusual because I travel a lot. But the rear hub started making a rubbing bearing noise when coasting. I couldn't figure it out so I took it to the local bike shop that I use. They said the bearings were damaged which led to the sensors in the hub shell. This means that I now have a completely new paper weight. To make matters worse, the front rim wasn't fully aligned.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Not the best

Good damn. They are perfect for the price.

I broke a rear wheel on my Marin Bobcat Trail 5 (think Deore 1x10, coil fork, alloy frame, hydraulic brakes) and it was expensive to replace. The tires were gone too. When the tension was high, these got quite the conversation and turned correctly for my untrained eye. I rode to work during the fall and winter and rode them on easy trails a few times. Not for muddy trails or insanely good traction as they pick up mud quickly. I estimate them at 1,000 miles, mostly tarmac, so far so good. The…

Tubeless ready out of the box.

Would like to give 4 1/2 stars Good at first Wheels are quite round out of the box. There's a bit of wobble up front, but not enough to worry me. They rotate freely, without noise and friction. The tires that come with it seem good, but I won't be using them for now. I received the wheels as a 700c road kit for my 650b bike setup. I save them for every single track I want to make. I didn't buy these rims for tires. Poorly. They come with tubeless tape already, which is good, but I'm worried it…

  • Price

  • Negative impression
