They were cheap wheels to start with, so the hub was very low quality. I have a few pairs of wheels that I have rebuilt myself with Ultegra hubs. I even still have a wheelset that I have rebuilt several times over the years around 20 year old Campy hubs. The rear is a 126 mm freewheel hub, but it is still smooth as glass.<br /><br />Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions. I ended up ordering a pair of wheels from Neuvation just to try them out. I got a mixed pair, R28 SL5 front and M28 SL rear. 1560 grams for the pair and the price was right at around $250 with shipping. Looking forward to seeing how they perform as everyday training wheels. Tyler, not a stupid question at all, but the hubs are in very bad shape on the wheels I am replacing.

I am 6'-0" and 190 lbs. and I rode and raced on Amercican Classsic 420's all season. Absolutley no problems and I live in northern Indiana where roads are more hole than pavement. These wheels are light and strong. Highly recommended. I would highly recommend the forgotten wheels of American Classic.

They don't have a user weight limit, either. Regardless of your weight, it's nice to see that they have that kind of confidence in their product. +1 on the Bontragers.

I love my Neuvation M28's (once I peeled the stickers off). About $300 with ceramics, and I have yet to take a spoke wrench to them. I’m a cheapo.
