Thought this was a thread about carbon rim wherls.
I had the Primes on my shortlist in '18, but back then, I got a general vibe that the Prime carbon hubs were not so durable. Better now?================

I have a set of Prime alloys & Prime carbons on different bikes. Both seem to use exactly the same hubs as far as I can tell (certainly same bearings & process to change them).N0bodyOfTheGoat said:Thought this was a thread about carbon rim wherls.

The only issues I have had on either have been on the winter alloys. The sealing isn't all that & the bearings seized on the over a winter's use - probably user / maintenance error.
Changed, rebuilt and packed out with grease and not had that problem again. Carbon wheels I packed out with grease before I used them and have been fine.2 -
No problems on Black carbon 90s either..

I have a white one. It has Zipp 404s on it, which is a nice way to bring us back on track.
Circular, some may say

I think the Prime wheels use Novatec hubs, cartridge bearings that are easy to replace.1

Yep, rebranded novatech. I have some RR-50s (which I think they have now rebranded as the 'black edition', certainly same rims/hubs) on my winter bike so ridden in all conditions and need changing about once a year, but it's an easy enough jobveronese68 said:I think the Prime wheels use Novatec hubs, cartridge bearings that are easy to replace.
