from St. Cloud, MN Date Reviewed: July 10, 2010 Strengths: Very strong, looks good, can handle anything I've thrown at them so far. Weaknesses: Mine make this aweful rattling noise. There's a little piece of metal stuck between the two layers of the rim from manufacturing, and it won't come out. It makes the wheels sound like crap and like they are falling apart. Maybe a little heavy, but that doesn't matter much to me. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Similar Products Used: Other inferior rims that can't hold a candle to the strength of these. Bike Setup: Stock Sette Flite
