Just thought I’d throw it out there that since we are making frequent trips to the US, if there is anyone who would be interested in ordering some wheels from Neuvation.
You can see them at www.neuvationcycling.com. I am getting updated prices so keep posted, but if you’re interested, post here.
the price we’re paying is the one on the website or the one posted by Peter?
(are the C38 1200 or 800?) if it’s the latter, I’m definitely interested!!!
For those curious, the C38 and C48 (numbers represent rim profile) are made my Zipp (thus, very light and good quality).
The C50 is made by the same company that makes HED and the Bontrager carbon wheels done overseas. So, they are somewhat heavier (250 gr. approx.), but MUCH stronger than the C38 and C48.
Additionally, the C38 and C48 are $270 more than the C50s, so it works out about $1 per gram, which is the norm is seems).
C50 Tubulars $590 for the set - 1430gr (they are coming in lighter than claimed on website
C38/C48 are $870 for the set - 1190 gr (slightly heavier than claimed on website)
**add $100 to the cost if you want the ceramic bearings, which save a little weight and increasing rolling time.
If you want to get into a sweet pair of carbon tubulars, this is the way to go. I am going to order a set of the C50s, Mat’s ordering C38 it looks like. We need one more person on board.
I gotr the C50s and they are a great deal in my opinion. I’ve only really ridden them around the house at this point (winter!!) but they seem quite stiff, even for someone who is 6’3"
