Strengths:    Good stong wheel

Date Reviewed: June 21, 2009

Strengths:    Stands up to abuse

Weaknesses:    Flat, flats and more flats.

Bottom Line:   
The rim tape kept cutting into the tubes, causing flats all the time. Switched out tape for a cloth tape, and flats aren't as bad, but still exist. Very odd.
