Looking at some new hoops and was looking at some Newmen wheels, anyone running a set?
Yes. Got the 29” SL a30. Really good. Lightweight. Good hubs. Really happy with them.
Have you tried to service them yet?.... Just wondered if you can do it without having to buy their tools.
Not yet. Only got them last summer. Not noticed that they have anything propriety tool-wise
Are yours the Gen1 or Gen2?. The gen1 required a clamp to remove the preload tensioner.... I was just wondering if it was removable without the tool.
Only recently, but very pleased with them so far. Quality seems very high, and really light. Evo SL A30s for me.
+1 sla30 27.5. lovely. Also just fitted and done three rides, so cannot comment on longevity or serviceability. But you know. Clicky. Shiny. Light. Pick 3 (-:
Cheers for the responses guys.
I've got the A35 which Euro stock still had the gen 1 tensioner as of about 6 weeks ago.
It's a bit of an unnecessary addition but easy enough to adjust. No call to take them apart yet but as above they seem well built, are light and the freehub has a good click to it if you like that sort of thing.
£250 odd cheaper than the DT Swiss (from the shop) as well so happy so far.
I have the 29 A35s on my RipMo. They are light and strong. The hubs are amazing. I bashed mine on Finale rock for a week with no issues at all. Tubeless a doddle. Not needed a spoke key or anything on the hubs so far (500 miles only tho). And I mind less about scuffing than I did on carbon wheels.
There's a video on YouTube somewhere with a factory tour, shows their hubs being made as they're all cnc machined in the factory in Germany.
Found it
