Title: SOVOS?
Post by: theRuler on January 02, 2007, 10:44 PM

i have a set of 48 spoke alloys

they are kinlin rims laced to SOVOS hubs

are these hubs any good?

i thought they were just generic, but in another thread someone was offering a pair of tuffs in a trade for some SOVOS wheels


they came on a 1990 bike i bought off the bay. are they of that age?

Yeah, they ain't bad at all.  A genuine alternative to Peregrines in their day.  You could get wheelsets from Custom Riders and the like with SuperPro rims laced to Sovos hubs and save yerself a couple of quid.  Came in the same variants as well I believe  (sealed/unsealed).   :)
