from Panama City, Florida (TAFB) Date Reviewed: April 6, 2006 Strengths: I have been on these only a few times. They are lighter than the stock rims I have before. The tires go on with ease. I use 2.10 IRC Mythos XC tires. I like the way they look too. Hopefully I will be able to add to this in a year or two. It is nice to see so many rewiews on a product that I will be using a lot of. Weaknesses: I had some work done to my bike and had to have my wheels properly setup. I guess that wasn't accomplished at the place that built them. Be careful when purchasing wheels online. When I get them back, they should be able to handle anything I can dish out. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Hobby Park (W-S, N.C.) Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $150.00 Purchased At: Jenson USA Similar Products Used: Bontrager Corvair Bike Setup: 03 Gary Fisher Tess SS (32-16), Canecreek Direct Curve Brakes, Bont SS Race Crank, MTB Speed V, Crank Brothers Mallet C pedals, IRC Mythos XC Tires, the rest Bontrager Select.

from Kerrville, Texas 78028 Date Reviewed: February 24, 2006 Strengths: It's a great rim for what it was designed and built to do -- cross country biking! Weaknesses: According to all those who are trashing it, it's weakness is that it can't perform like rims in the $500 price level. Folks, get real! They do their job if you put them on a bike designed for typical cross country. I am 220 lbs. and have zero problems. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Any in Texas Hill Country Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: Came on bike Similar Products Used: Mostly stock rims with two Trek hardtails -- 4100 and 4500 and one Specialized Enduro. Bike Setup: 2001 Specialized Enduro, Manitou Skareb Super 100mm front fork, Fox Vanilla coil rear shock with 900# spring, Specialized Team Control tires, Mavic 221, Avid Speed-dial brakes, Thomson stem, Easton Monkeybar handlebar, Shimano LX derailers, lots of other upgrades.
