from Atl, GA Date Reviewed: February 21, 2012 Strengths: Integrity of the rim - It has held it's shape very well since 2000, and I ride it every chance I get! Braking surface, with a properly setup Avid SD7 Vee Brake, I am able to match and often beat many lower line disc setups. Promise, Vee's are still viable contenders and the braking surface provided by this rim has been exceptional, I think it's the greatest strength of this rim. Weaknesses: Single wall! I have put about 2 deformations/bends in the rear rim and 1 in the front. Although I still ride the rims and they handle/brake fine so it's a weakness that the rim still overcomes! But by no means is this a "Strong" rim - trust me I practice trials riding on it! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Harbins :) Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: Came on Bike Similar Products Used: Alex MX 22, DM 19, Bontrager, All steel 70's rims, Dx 32, etc. Bike Setup: Shimano hubs, dubble butted spokes and these rims came stock on 2000 specialized Hardrock FS

from Clovis Ca. Date Reviewed: March 6, 2007 Strengths: they are a cheap replacement for a quick fix if you are in a bind. as for any real product value , the weinmann 519 rims are worthless, pathetic at best. Weaknesses: these rims are the worst. They never stay true and spokes break off and/or bend by practicaly just looking at em! I had a rear rim fold like a taco in a matter of 1 month. you cant even ride off a sidewalk curb with these rims. I got 5 broken spokes and 2 bent ones. If you cant even hop or ride of a curb in a freakin mountain bike then we might as well be riding road bikes intead. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: off trail booney crashing!!!!!!!! and suburban assaults!!!! Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: local bike shop Similar Products Used: shimano stx rx 8s PARRALLAX and gary fischers on my other MTB - ( GARY FISCHER HOO KOO E KOO ) Bike Setup: 2000 GIANT RINCON SE
