2011 Neuvation C50 tubular carbon wheelset 700c 20/24 Neuvation hub skewer road
Frame and Wheel is auctioning a Neuvation C50 carbon tubular wheel set on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The wheels were purchased new in 2011 from Neuvation. They were glued up and ridden once and then placed in storage. They have had only one owner. The owner is selling the wheel set because it is no longer needed. The wheels feature carbon tubular rims, Neuvation / Abec front and rear hubs, 50 mm rim depth, 21 mm rim width, 20 (F) / 24 (R) spoke count, Neuvation stainless steel skewers and sleek nude carbon finish. The wheels as shown weigh 3 pounds 8 ounces (1.6 kg). Neuvation brake pads not included (these pads are required). There are 50 images of the wheel set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please take a look.
Review of condition
The wheels are in good condition. They are clean and they are ready to ride. The hubs spin smoothly and freely. The spokes are tight and straight. The rims are round and the wheels are true. There is no lateral or vertical variation in the rims when placed in a truing stand. There are no cracks, flexing, flaking or discoloration in the carbon rim or the carbon shell. There are no notches in the free hub body from a cassette. There are no cracks in the hub bodies. There are no cracks in the flanges of the hubs. There is no play in the hubs. There is no corrosion on the spokes or the hubs. The stickers are not peeling off. The skewers are straight and complete. Frame and Wheel notes the following. There is a 1 mm x 15 mm scratch on the rim wall of the front wheel near the specification sticker. There is a 1 mm x 25 mm scratch on the non drive side rim wall of the rear wheel near a Neuvation logo. There is light wear on the braking surfaces of the rim. There is a light layer of glue on the rim.
Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that these Neuvation C50 wheels will make a sensible choice for the road cyclist who seeks a versatile carbon tubular wheel set for racing and training. The wheels are in good condition and effectively new. The deep dish rims and the “skunk works” nude carbon finish will transform the voice of any road bike and deliver an immediate aerodynamic and weight advantage. The new owner will relish the look and feel of these wheels and may end up a tubular native as a result. A fine opportunity to obtain a solid pair of carbon tubular wheels from Neuvation.
