from Orono ME USA Date Reviewed: January 12, 2005 Strengths: I was reading the reviews of this product and was suprised that everyone was so happy. Good for a front wheel. Weaknesses: Not durable in the rear for me. I rode on them for a few seasons on bog land cross country trails and I messed up my rear wheel. I have broken about 6 spokes and the hub went to heck. one of the cones ended up with divots in it. I replace the axle and cones and it was still not very good. The rim also got a few flat spots in it Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: not telling but rocks and roots delux Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: came with bike after one season of use before I had them Similar Products Used: First disc brake wheel. Bike Setup: GIANT AC air lite
