<p>The hubs alone are worth the asking price - heck a new 240 rear hub is almost the asking price. If the setups in good condition I say do it. </p>

Got an offer for a twice-used wheelset: DT 240 hubs and sapim aero blades spokes on Mavic reflex rims for $400. Thoughts?<br/>

Bikeman.com had a Vuelta Corsa Superlite wheelset for about $350 as well and it weighed in slightly less than the Neuvations. But their warranty doesn't cover damage from racing. Has anyone ridden them?

<p>From what I understand, Boyd makes good stuff. There are people riding them all over the place down here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BUT:</p>
<p>I rode both the Neuvation wheels and the Williams wheels last year, and will be on the Williams this year.</p>
<p>I felt like the Neuvations were noticeably lighter (my Williams are probably two years old, so a different build), but I feel like the Williams are stiffer and sturdier. The thin spoke on the Neuvation wheels made me a little bit nervous, and I…</p>

<p>I felt like the Neuvations were noticeably lighter (my Williams are probably two years old, so a different build), but I feel like the Williams are stiffer and sturdier. The thin spoke on the Neuvation wheels made me a little bit nervous, and I felt like I was winding up the hub before the wheel would start turning. The Neuvations also have a wider braking surface than most other wheels. So swapping sets takes a few seconds.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Otherwise, both are very good wheels. Never had any catastrophic failure with either, and I never felt like they were a hindrance.</p> Or you could go with Boyd's a…tag:cowbell.cxmagazine.com,2011-09-08:1198434:Comment:1051832011-09-08T20:06:26.518ZDavid whitlockhttps://cowbell.cxmagazine.com/profile/Davidwhitlock

He actually talked me out of a particular wheel set because it didn't fit my needs. When was the last time someone tried NOT to sell you something?</span></p>
