from USA Date Reviewed: April 28, 2009 Strengths: These are good rims! They are extremely stiff and because of the stiffness put less stress on individual spokes. They will not dent or ding very easily. The True Track does just that - keep the tire from moving. They've had no problems with the bead eating into the tire as I once read. I bought them because I like to use a very large front tire and these rims enable that. Weaknesses: The wheels don't lend well to a tubless conversion - I think because of the True Track. If you're okay with tubes - this is a winner. The white matt finish looks great when new, but next to impossible to keep clean - could use a gloss finish. The flat outter part of the bead intended to reduce pinch flats when using low pressure doesn't work with smaller tires (2.1) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Porcupine Rim Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $70.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Mavic Rims (the metal is too soft and subject to dents and dings) Bike Setup: Turner 5 Spot, Fox 36 Talas, CK Hubs/headset, DT Spokes, Hope Minis, and XTR stuff.

from Edmonsprawl, AB Date Reviewed: August 6, 2007 Strengths: This is an update to my previous review. I feel that the abuse I've been giving these hoops warrants an update. Still holding up amazingly well. I have been DH'ing on them and they remain round and true. I'm replacing them with 729's for DH only because I have the new rims figuring the DS28's would have not held up to the abuse they have seen Weaknesses: Tacky graphics, but they peeled off. I have got better at using regular length presta tubes in these tall rims.
