a Cross Country Rider
from marengo, il, usaDate Reviewed: August 7, 2010
Strengths: -Stays true
-Lighter than my old rhyno light
-Pretty stiff on the back
Easy to build and true
-Super easy to put tires on
-Good braking surfaceWeaknesses: -Having said its stiff and stays true, theres often a weight penalty... these aren't exactly heavy but they aren't as light as they could be. It was an upgrade however from my rhino lights
-No eyelets!!
Bottom Line: For what they weigh and what the price is they really aren't bad at all. They took a day long ride at Palos no problem and have no signs of any problems... despite this wheel having been previously built. Obviously not that best at what I'm using it for, but for a cheap Alex Rim it is sure surprising. Keep in mind however, that this wheel doesn't go airborne beyond what it has to for riding purposes.
it was also hand built using DT comp spokes for the inner spokes and straight 2.0 on the outer. Makes for quick riding.
Favorite Trail: Palos
Duration Product Used: 3 months
Purchased At: Gifted to me
Similar Products Used: mavic 221 and rhino light. nothing else is in the same price range though.

Strengths: Cheap price
easy to true
Takes abuse without massive break down
Cheap enough to fix yourself without worrying if you did the job right
Weaknesses: Warp freaquently
Spoke work loose over time
No Warranty
Not meant for big huckBottom Line: If you need a quick repair part its great on the wallet but just a suggestion you get a better rim for thelong run. If you have a crap frame and are being parts for it, this rim is perfect for the frame. But if have a good frame don't fall for the cheap crap go for the good stuff
Favorite Trail: Hiawatha
Duration Product Used: 1 Year
Price Paid:
$20.00
Purchased At: Velorution
Similar Products Used: Other Ales products
Bike Setup: Custom piece of crap
