I've got two sets of Neuvation wheels. R28 Aero2s and R28Sl2. I'd spend the additional coin over the M28s. I've got about 5k miles on my R28SL2s and at my peak I was 205lbs riding them. I'm 188 right now. They are my EVERY day wheels. Ridden many centuries, climbed lookout mountain and Brasstown Bald with them. Every 2k miles, I have had to take the rear hub apart and clean the pawls but the disassembly takes oh....2 minutes. They have NEVER been trued.
Honestly, I think the R28 aeros look cooler with the flat bladed spokes.

What are the real differences? From what I can tell, there are 2 extra cartridge bearings on the R28s and the rims are 40g lighter/wheel, also on the R28s, and the R28s also have slightly more bladed spokes (4.5mm vs 4.3mm). Is there any ride difference? What are your opinions? Should I see if the R28 SL3's are offered? With non-bladed spokes, they are down in the 1540g range, as opposed to 1600 (R28 Aero3) and 1740 (M28 Aero2).
Help!
