Guys, any thoughts on Novatec D711/712SB MTB disc hubs? I received a good offer to have some nice rims tied to them, but would like to get some information, which is quite difficult to find on the internet. Thanks in advance!

does anyone use these hubs?

I could not link to our links, but the novatech hubs are bomb proof at a good price.

how easy are bearings available?

i have built 3 sets of wheels using these hubs and can highly recommend them. First set was built with Loaded AmXc rims and Pillar spokes about a year ago and are still going strong. Second set were built with Sun Ringle rims, on my current bike a Scott Spark Expert 29er and running strong. I have just received my 3rd set and am looking for rims to build with

I found a website called www.bdopcycling.com and bought the cups to convert my one set from qr to 15mm thru. they have all the bearings and conversion sets you could wish for. hubs as well but they are cheaper on e-bay

have you looked at the new D541/542 set? they are VERY nice! also comes with adapters to do 9mm QR, 20 and 15mm through axle

mmmm, Aliexpress have them on special for R1000 a set including shipping, I just got 2 x Gipiemme Kenya rims for R1000 from On-one, spokes and nipples are R300 on ebay. So for R2700 i can build a 1.58kg set of 29er wheels.......

 

Think i am going shopping

Got a set laced to Crests, absolutely rediculous value for money. 3x2pawls, sweet rachet sound like Chris Kings...I wonder if Chris King don't just stick a label on these..hmmmm (just kidding all the millionair Chris King die-hards)

you can't pass on that, china post does take a while though, typically about a month but well worth it!

I know, not worried about the time, slowly building my carbon chinarelo, so will look for bargains, next up spokes......
