They are "brought" in by Robert Hunter, heard rumours that they are the same as Zipps,  heard no bad comments or complaints.  An-li from Cbist used to ride a set loved them dearly

Very smooth running Joytech hubs. Spoke nipples are hidden inside the rim. Spoke- and hub tool is included. Very nice carbon brake pad holders. Special carbon specific pads also included.

u see now those thingies a didnt get. suppose my LBS can sort those things out for me. How long does the break surface last before u have to replace the rim.

cause they have a carbon breaking surface. I take it ZIPPS have the same thing. surface goes then replace the rim?

I had the same "no response" issues - very disappointing - managed to secure a good price at the LBS and bought a set for the Clarens tour - as Mampara says- a very neat design - used them on the time trial up "surrender hill" yesterday and had no issues - I'm a bit of a lightweight so I remain worried about the combination of deep section and crosswinds - but on the descent yesterday I felt very comfortable. 

You will need to purchase tubes with an 80mm valve - and not all of these are threaded for the full 80mm so use a bit of tape to dampen the vibration of the valve on the carbon rim.

[Turboman]

100kg, so my fat as.s will be able to ride these.

[ecg15]

thanks. i realized i would have a problem with the tubes cause i had rolf vigor 38mm rims and those tubs DID NOT WORK in these rims lol *dumb of me even tryin* im used to cross winds bein in CAPE TOWN and all. i bought the 60mm tubs and no rattle. they are 100 grams heavier than my rolf vigors but thats ok they are almost twice the profile.

i found this on the net......

"

Gigantex makes rims for a lot of people. Novatech is Joytech. Novatech

also makes wheels. My team has raced on them all season and they are

pretty good.

The Novatech wheels have rims from Gigantex, Sapim spokes and Joytech hubs. These wheels look to fall into the same category.

Worth considering.

EQUINOX's are mad by GIGANTEX. an ASIAN cycling company
