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

Is it worth rebuilding rear Neuvation wheel?

I broke my rear M28X aero Neuvation wheel rim a couple months back.
For $60 + shipping to them + calculated $30 return shipment, Neuvation can rebuild the wheel after I send them the hub and spokes.

Is it worth it? $100+ for a rebuilt wheel? The hub only has about 6k miles on it.

Thanks.

Is that the one that's pretty much the same as a Forte Titan? Because you can get a new one of those shipped for $118 right now.

I don't know the Fortes - but here are the Neuvations: https://www.neuvationcycling.com/prod...50-gr-pr-1262/ mine is a 2010. Doesn't look like it's worth it. What should I do? Wanna buy a hub and some spokes for $50?

I think you can get an Askium (sp?) for $150 or less. Probably at a shop within some reasonable distance to you, which would get you back on the road sooner.

Can you describe how? I broke my rear Neuvation wheel this weekend, the spoke pulled hard enough to warp and crack the rim. I'm not sure if it was an M28 or R28.

A new wheel, bought locally, is the option I took. I'm going to donate the spokes and hub to a local bike charity. Actually, I'm going to give them to a girl I know who's been doing 1099 work, and she's going to donate them to charity, and take the small tax deduction.

Yeah, the M28x is pretty much the same as the Forte Titan. The M28x is a good basic wheel, but not worth putting much money into since you can get basically the same wheel (albeit, with a different name) new for the price of a rebuild.

If you've got a Performance Bike shop near you, they might have the Forte Titan's in stock and you wouldn't have to pay shipping.

Those are practically throw away wheels. Just get a new one.

Interesting. The Aksium was exactly my first solution so I could ride and train the next day.
Eventually I got a new set of Carbon Clinchers at a crazy bargain, which I love. Although I had 3 spokes blown out on my last race due to an encounter. I didn't go doww, and my mechanic fixed it at no charge (I tipped him!!!!).

The Neuvation broke pretty much like you describe, one of the spoke nipples caused a crack on the rim.

Thanks for the suggestion to you and to all in terms of donating it.
I'll leave the aksiums as trainer wheels.
