Which Novatec's do you okes run?

 

Flip, I have no clue, they are red and came on my Novatec Sprint wheels. 

 

All I know is they use normal bearings which are easy to change and have not needed me to look for spares.

 

Sorry can not be more help.

I've built lots of wheels with Novatec.  For road I use the A141/F162 combo for general race/training wheels and the A291/F482 for the lighter ones.  I haven't used the SL versions as I am not a fan of minimal spokes and you can't get enough (safe) holes on the smaller flanges.

 

For MTB I use the 711/712 for mid level wheels (QR) and the 771/772 for rougher stuff and through axles.  For the big boys and DH wheels I use the 541/542.  I generally stick to these as they are supported locally.

 

If you plan to import you will see quite big differences in pricing between the old stock 10 speed and new 10/11 speed versions.

Nobody on Powerway and their service in SA?

 

I can get the Powerway at more or less the same price, but they are quite a bit lighter, but don't want to buy something that has no support here
