Looking at Novatec Wheels wondering if anyone has used them
I am in need of a new set of wheels and was sold pretty hard by the LBS on these. What is your take on Novatec Wheels? They seem to be inexpensive but will they last?

I am guessing I have an answer. They are not worth the time and effort.

If you're in NA, contact Henry at Novatec USA. He can give you the lowdown on the wheels and where you can buy them.

I've used 10 and 11 speed Novatec hubs built on custom wheels, they are excellent and cheap. No experience with their wheels, so don't know who provides their rims, but I'd guess they're taiwanese as opposed to mainland china, therefore likely reliable.
