NOVATEC D712SB

[bytme]

Hi,

 

I am new in the MTB world, currently I have a Shimano FH-MT400B REAR hub and I would like to replace it with Novatec D712SB.

 

Does any one know anything about the brand Novatec? (good and bad)

 

Kind Regards

Good brand

Good brand, reasonably good support from Cape Cycles. I run XD642SB hubs and have had no issues in almost 4 years.

Nothing wrong with NOVATEC. Running them(can't remember the model) on a set of wheels on my road bike. No issues.

Cheap solid, not terribly light but they use 6902 bearings which are a decent size so  good quality replacement bearings will likely outlast the bike

I got some ceramic bearings for mine. Yet to fit them but should make a difference.

I'd be tempted to say that's like polishing a turd except with a Novatec it's probably what it deserved in the first place.

Buy a spare axle and keep it in your parts box. You'll need it at some point.
