from Pisgah Forest, NC, USA Date Reviewed: August 25, 2003 Strengths: This review is for the complete Bombshell wheelset including the rims, spokes and hubs. Very strong and very smooth rolling wheel set. The weight is not that much more than a typical cross country disc wheelset. Weaknesses: The Bombshell rim strips suck. After they got wet, they became loose and sloppy and had to be sh*t canned. I use filament strapping tape anyway, no big deal. The rear skewer sucks. I used one of my Shimano XT skewers after having trouble getting the rear wheel into the dropouts. The skewer has some sort of goofy floating deal on the non drive side. The front wheel is a 20mm axle, no skewer. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: All of Pisgah national forest Duration Product Used: 3 months Similar Products Used: None similar, but I have broken more than a few cross country wheels. Bike Setup: Yeti ASX, manitou sherman, 5th element frame shock, 1.5 headset, 31.88mm bars, Bombproof fatboy wheel set.

from Gettysburg PA Date Reviewed: November 1, 2002 Strengths: Heavy, thick sidewalls, triple void, I haven't had a pinchflat yet with DH tubes and Tires, Bombshell has great customer service(and if you don't think so maybe you are being unreasonable) Weaknesses: I would prefer to see some inserts at the spoke holes, but it hasn't been a problem at all, these are tough rims Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: I just like to ride Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: Rynolite okay for enduro/xc, Mammoth, Single track, single wide these will fall apart before they pinch flat. Bike Setup: Mindbomb with romic, adjustable leverage ratio(home modification) carbon fenders, Modified MRP(almost now chain growth and it never hits logs)
