Any Opinion On Velocity Nuvian Wheels?

I am potentially interested in a set of these. But I can find no write-ups or
opinions about them on the web. Is there a max weight limit? How do they hold
up (hubs and rims)? Is the alloy cassette carrier going to hold-up (I am
interested in the Campy model)? Are replacement bits readily available?

Thanks for your replies.

I have not ridden the Nuvians. I have heard good and bad about
Velocity branded wheels.
The rims are quite highly regarded and have a real winner with their
tandem rim, the Dyad.
There has been some speculation that the hubs in the wheelsets are
made by Formula, which in the mid to late 90s was not considered a
reliable hub. More recently, such wheels as the Velocity Spartacus,
which presumably use similar hubs, have gotten higher marks, but
definitely not exceeding, S or C brand hubs. One good sign is that the
Nuvian itself does not try to rely on reduced spoke count on the rear
wheel, it's an honest 32, with a 24 front. Good luck if you do try
them. I'd guess they're good for say 80 kg rider. (~180 lbs )
