Duration Product Used:

Purchased At:
Came with GFisher Rig
Strengths:
Um, heavy? Okay, none.
Weaknesses:
Heavy as hell. It lasted all of three rides before the internals started grinding. Totally garbage, but functions.
Bottom Line:
Only get this wheelset if you plan on upgrading very quickly. Yet again, Bontrager makes more low end garbage. I think only pros get the quality stuff and Bontrager works off of the publicity then sells garbage.

Bike line in warminster, pa
Strengths:
Even when Freehub boby is shot you can still ride it while you wait the 1 mo for a replacement
Weaknesses:
freehub body, Bontrager stock,
Similar Products Used:
many hubs
Bike Setup:
stock GF RIG
Bottom Line:
The hub is crap. Ride it until it breaks then replace it. 1000 mi in and it is nearly seized. Also these things are on backorder from Bontrager for forever I guess. I am going to buy a real hub.

Strengths?
Weaknesses:
lockring, freehub or was that freehub, lockring...bearings
Bike Setup:
Came on the GF Rig
Bottom Line:
Bad: As often as a singlespeed cog is changed the lockring is not durable. Worse: The freehub...again durability, they do not last long 3 to 5 months tops. Worst: You have to remove the axle and the bearing to replace the sh!#y freehub. After a couple of freehubs the bearing is junk! I guess that means the freehub is actually the worst thing.
