PJ's Catch

Now that the weekend is over, it's what I plan on doing. Problem being, doesn't matter if it's a huge downgrade, do I think they'd tell me so? No! I was hoping for a cut and dry, from those that have knowledge of these. (I've never owned either) Novatec is trash or vice versa?

Not sure? Since my bikes I've been riding, have ranged from 1958 Schwinn to 2001 GT. Decided on something a little different to add to the collection and the Diamondback had the best group for the price. Hubs are marked as SLX 7110 and are 15/110 F and 12/148 R

Hello all! New to this forum. Quick question for the group. I received my new/old 2021 Diamondback Catch 2 yesterday and I'm unclear as whether or I was bumped up or down on the hubs? Listed as Novatec SL team on both ends, but what was received were Shimano SLX??? Fortunately, they were not lower level than that, considering it's A full SLX build. Curious though? Didn't see anywhere showing potential alternate replacements and was wondering, did I get bumped up or down on this swap out? Thanks for any info you van provide! It's demo time.
