Wyatt Earp Posted December 28, 2013 Share If you ride hard then i recommend ZTR If you are gentle on your bike Riding hard with finesse is what some might misconstrue as gentle.And riding gently without being smooth is what some misconstrue as riding hard.

jcza Posted December 29, 2013 Share I am not the weight of a flea and I have not needed to do anything with or to my AM's after about 2000 km of riding so my experience is exactly the opposite of chukky's.

Christie Posted December 30, 2013 Share Tune King = R1700, Kong = R3500, abouk 3k less than a set of Chris Kings.Ive done a bit of research on the interwebs: the freehub body and pawls seems to be a serious problem on Tune rear hubs, best to stay far away from a Tune rear hub. There are few reports of problems with the front hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are few reports of problems with the front hub. Way over priced for what they are.If you want good hubs then White Industries, Chris King, Hope and American Classic can't be beaten.

Mopkop Posted December 31, 2013 Share *HI-JACK* I'm in the process of getting a new set of wheels but there's just too much to choose from. I've looked at the following: Novatec Dragon : R5495http://www.evobikes....9-wheelset.html Novatec Flowtrail: R5295 with tyreshttp://www.evobikes....9-wheelset.html Easton XC70: R4495http://www.evobikes....r-wheelset.html American Classic : R5495http://www.evobikes....-wheel-set.html Shimano XT 785: R4995http://www.evobikes....r-wheelset.html ZTR's on Hopes for about R5500 I weigh 74kgs and love flowing/technical single track, not keen on big drop offs. All of the above wheels are within budget as I still need to get rotors and tyres. I want a reliable set of wheels, I've got a set of ZTR Crests on SLX hubs and they've been going strong for 11months now, no problems, did not even need to be trued. I've been thinking of just upgrading my hubs, Superstar/Hopes as I've already got the ZTR's. Problem is on the Superstars its going to cost me about R2700 and about R3700 on Hopes, that's why I thought of getting a complete new set of wheels and then sell my existing wheels. All advice welcome PS: I'd really like to be heard coming down the trail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE Posted December 31, 2013 Share We can also custom-built you a pair of FRM EVO Rims (same weight as Crest but have a 100kg weight limit due to a much stronger alu used) laced to Novatec D541 and D542 Hubs, built with Sapim Laser spokes - Price for a set is R4500 including TL conversion. Weight of wheelset will be 1650g - simply the best value out there! Cav' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeFconOK Posted January 2, 2014 Share No Body mentions Shimano's any more???A bit more servicing required but worth it i think. They are definitely getting better every year and pricing is good In terms of rims for tubeless you cant beet stans tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopkop Posted January 2, 2014 Share Who has got experience with the Novatec hubs/wheels? I love the SUPERFAST engagement but it sounded so quiet while spinning in my hands. Some say its a pain to service, is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
