Strengths:    Stay true, part of a fairly bullet proof wheelset.

Weaknesses:    Heavy.

Bottom Line:   
Fine rims. If I had the scratch for a new wheelset, I'd probably go light before I'd go wide, so I might look elsewhere. However, they work fine, hold up fine and my tires look massive. Gordos equal great footprint and solid handling.

Submitted by naked energy a Weekend Warrior from Knoxville, TN, USA

Date Reviewed: July 9, 2009

Strengths:    insanely stiff, bombproof, light?(630 grams), has lasted a year of dirtjump abuse-(yet i am not smooth at all), stays true, i think these are great for dh, dirtjumping, freeride.

Weaknesses:    could be a little wider for stability
they could look a lot better, but hey they are a great product that can last.


Bottom Line:   
these rims are a great product, I didn't expect them to be so strong and stiff. Yet, they may not look so good, but their positives out weigh their negatives. I say give them a try, I have yet to see how long it takes till the wheel has to be trued, so far so good.
5 chillies for the value and gality.
4 overall- they could look better.
also, these are good for dh as well.

Strengths:    this thing is the epitomy of strength. I have no complaints about it. It has everything you could want from a non-tubless rim.

Weaknesses:    none to the knowledge, perhaps weight if your a gram counter

Bottom Line:   
buy this if you want one of the strongest rimes out there. I've seen guys who have problems with beding wheels buy these rims, and their problems dissopear.
