Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Focus 20/20 wheels? ever heard of them?

Called a bike shop asking about new wheels.. the guy said he has some Focus 20/20 wheels with Joytech Hubs, asking $349.00 a pair...

I've never heard of them. He said they are the same wheel as a Neuvation. I really have no clue, and haven't found anything online yet.

Any advice would be appreciated.

A guy in the club bought some off of eBay (~$200). Not sure which model they were except they had the huge Focus 20/20 stickers on them. He said they were flexy and his wheel magnet (front) would hit on occasion. However, he is a clydedale at 200+ and a masher.
I saw a guy using these wheels in the Pro/1/2 Crit race a few weeks ago. He looked to be around 170#.

They look just like Neuvations, or Performance Titans. Same weight as well.
