Hey Hubbers

Getting a rear wheel built for the 29nr HT next and the LBS is suggesting Novatec rear hub as I am on a tight budget :(

Probably going to be this one

The Durability warning is a bit of a concern...

Anyone had any long term use on these?
Any good, are they durable etc?

Thanks!

Mike

Had a set of Nova tech hubs with ZTR hoops, absolutely fantastic combo. Go for them you will not be sorry

Thanks for the quick replies people.

Not sure on the exact model he was talking about but expecting to pay around R480 for the rear hub.
