I have the rear wheel only. It’s makes a great training wheel seems to hold true and be a pretty tough wheel. For 80$ I’ll buy them all day to wear out with how many miles I put on my single speed it’s happens fairly often I’m glad you can get a quality wheel from a reputable brand! Thank you WTB
Have to baby that hub and keep it serviced if I want it to last 6 months. Cause it’s really a pretty garbage hub. Also such a slow, heavy, dog of a wheel in all aspects. But boy do I feel fast when I throw that race wheelset on!

Pretty Strong and considered as a free-ride wheel
Not exactly light
Currently using this wheelset on a very basic throw around bike. This wheel performs pretty well considering that i got it for less than a $100 bucks. It was very cheap and i have taken pretty high and solid jumps. Only thing about it is that it is in the heavier end in comparison with all-mountain category wheels. Wheelset seemed to have been machine assembled and is slightly out of true after a month's use. Although i would blame the out of true to the fact that i had never trued it even after the "break in" period. When i get around to truing it, i am pretty sure it would be solid. And oh, by the way, i have crashed with this wheel for like--uhm--50 times---and they still seem very usable (only slightly out of true).

Strong wheelset with low lateral flex, 32h dt swiss spokes, xt hubs, brass nipples, rim or disc brake, low cost.
Weight - (1100gfront/1200grear), but then they are DH/FR specific wheels.
Great build, no need for spoke adj. yet. I use these mostly for singletrack riding. The wheels climb and descend with more speed and confidence, and allow me to use my brakes more aggressively and less often. I aim for about 33 psi f&r (tube), and on a hard hit has bent my previous wheels. So far I can get through fairly rough terrain - rocks, fallen tree branches, streams, and drop-off's (+/- 2') without the usual wheel flex. I'm tall and weigh in @ 200 lbs, so these wheels are great for me even though I am not a free rider.

Light, strong, sturdy, and cheap.
No weaknesses experienced yet.
Great smooth ride. Experienced faster travel with new lighter rims. Stock rims and hubs lag and require more effort. I'm just a weekend warrior that doesn't do any crazy jumps, but I jump curbs and hit roots on trails. The rims are holding up so far and are staying true. Places online are offering these rims around $150-175 for the wheel set. Most offer with the same hubs. I'd say it was a great buy for a weekend warrior.
