I'm very happy with these

"I'm very happy with these wheels. I got them at a great price and they look just as good as the expensive ones at a fraction of the cost. The best part is they're not some cheap budget wheels. Novatec is a great company, with a stellar reputation for making really good hubs at a budget-friendly price point. The Cambria crew are helping me with a slight hiccup I have with the wheels. It looks like it may have been compromised during shipping, as the front wheel is slightly out of spec, it needs truing. They have offered me a couple options to fix the issue. I'm very happy with this whole order. The wheels are super slick and super smooth and very light, and the crew at Cambria have certainly earned the *★★★★★*. I will certainly be doing business with them again and I recommend you do as well. Cheers, Calvin PS I'd love to leave a picture and video but, I don't know how. 🙃"

Q&A

The front hub is NOT 12x100. It is indeed 15x100. The picture depicts black spokes with black nipples (aluminum) and silver spokes with red nipples (aluminum) surrounding the valve stem but came with all black spokes and silver nipples (brass). The logos are also decals instead of etched (like the originals).
Thank you for assisting our product team with getting this product page correctly listed for other customers.
These are older wheel, are they really 12x100 (front), or 15x100 (front)? Can they be changed to 15x100, by changing the end caps?
This wheelset is built with 12x100 mm front spacing as shown on the product page. The D881SB front hub can be converted between axle standards, but it depends on which end caps the hub was originally manufactured with. For this specific batch, the hubs were supplied to us only in 12x100. They cannot be converted to 15x100 because the correct 15 mm end caps for this older D881SB variant are no longer produced by Novatec, and the current-generation caps are not cross‑compatible with this hub shell.
The photo shows quick release adapters installed. The these adapters come with the wheelset?
The wheelset in the photo is shown with quick‑release adapters installed, but those adapters are not included. This set comes in the thru‑axle configuration only - 12×100 mm front and 12×142 mm rear - with no QR end caps in the box.
Does the hub take 11 speed cassette?
Hello. Yes the rear hub takes 11 speed cassettes. The Novatec D881SB rear hub on the 29" Flow Trail Rim wheelset comes with a Shimano HG freehub body. That means it's compatible with 8–11 speed Shimano cassettes and SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed, but not with SRAM XD or Shimano Microspline setups.
What are the widest tires these rims can accommodate? Will the handle 2.5 width? Thanks.
Hi Randy! The Novatec Wheelset D881SB can accommodate 2.0" to 2.35" tires. Any wider and the tire will begin to balloon out, which leads to difficult bike handling. Thanks for reaching out!
