a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: May 3, 2012 Strengths: i used to run sun rhynos cause im heavy on my rims since using the black eyes i have not buckled a rim. they apear to be every bit as strong as the rhynos. Weaknesses: they are a really hard to change tyres, especially out on the trail with plastic levers. so far i have been thru six plastic levers, so now i carry my steel levers everywhere i ride.

from Calgary Date Reviewed: August 30, 2009 Strengths: Strong. Good looking. Have used w up to 2.5" (Kenda Blue Groove Stick-E) tire. Weaknesses: Deep and narrow makes changing tires even more of a chore than usual. In fact it can be pretty hard work and you have to watch out not to break you tire levers. Take extra care not to pinch your tube too. Nothing worse than trying to fix a puncture and making two more!.. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: LBS came w Kona bike Similar Products Used: Sun SOS. WTB SX24. Bike Setup: Customised Kona XC bike.

from San Jose,CA, US Date Reviewed: February 21, 2009 Strengths: These wheels are pretty tough. I've taken them to Downieville twice and Northstar for a full day of hardcore downhill and freeride. No problems with spokes breaking or popping loose. Weaknesses: The rim is extremely narrow for an all-mountain wheelset. It is pretty hard to mount tires that are larger that 2.2 in width.
