Hello everyone-
I will likely be placing a team order to Neuvation Cycling soon. As you may know, the McGill cycling team is sponsored, called Neuvation
cycling, makers of fine road wheelsets.
Deadline to contact Peter if you want wheels is Oct 15th also please let me know if you have a US address we can use and wouldn’t mind bringing a few wheelsets across the border
They are offering us, in my
opinion, fantastic deals on training and racing wheels, both carbon
and aluminum. I know that many of you are perhaps considering new
equipment for the season and/or upgrading and I can tell you that new
wheels make a big difference in how your bike rides. I have a pair of
the R28 Aeros (similar in build, look and weight to Mavic Ksyrium
Elites) and like them a lot. If you are interested in checking out
what is on offer take a look at
http://www.neuvationcycling.com/index.html
Here are the prices (both wheels, just to be clear):
M28 Regulatr $150 -a regular training wheel that is 1740g, which is a decent weight and the wheel are supposedly very durable
M 28 Aero $150 -1740g 27mm deep rim semi-aero aluminum training/racing
wheel; really sturdy
R series $200 (1600g 27mm deep rim semi-aero aluminum racing wheel, also works for training but a bit less durable)
C 50’s $550 (1500g 50mm deep aerodynamic carbon racing wheels)
I think they’re tubulars but I’m not sure
C 38’s $800 (1170g 38mm deep aero carbon race wheels) similar
to Zipp 303’s
R&C series $10 Campy
Freight is $15 per set.
For the carbon wheels he has a crash replacement policy of $175 for a
new rim for everyone, and it may be cheaper for us as a sponsored
team. He also does ceramic bearing upgrades for relatively cheap if
anyone is interested.
Please email me at peter.thornhill@mail.mcgill.ca if you are
interested in getting any wheels for the season. At $150, if your
wheels are worn out or something, it’s probably the cheapest option to
replace them with the M28s. The only catch is that we have to get 3
sets for the first order as a team and he ships only to the US. But
since many of us have homes in the US and we race there regularly I
don’t see that as much of a problem.
Have a good one,
Peter
