from Cedar Hills, Utah Date Reviewed: January 26, 2009 Strengths: Stiff, Reasonable weight, never need truing, wide enough to give you a good tire profile, no burping, sets up tubeless nicely with UST,and non UST tires. Weaknesses: Screw in eyelets loosened up a lot when new, but I think this was a setup problem as I doubt the builder used loctite on them. I have had problems with he valve stem on my rear rim leaking air from time to time (I have tried replacing the valve stem, loosening it tightening it, replacing just the o rings, using some stans etc, and I still get a tiny bit of air leak around the base from time to time) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Hazard County to Porcupine Rim Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $70.00 Purchased At: Ebay Similar Products Used: Mavic xm 317, really cheap alex dp17 Bike Setup: Fezzari Nebo Peak
