from Seward, Alaska. Date Reviewed: May 24, 2011 Strengths: Looks cool, very light. Weaknesses: Poor customer service. Had a recall on the hub, but some how I ended up paying $85 for them to put in the part and another $45 for shipping after being told that the recall did not apply to my hub despite my serial number matching that of the recall. Not what I expected from a "high end" wheel set Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $750.00 Similar Products Used: Round wheels that were heavy, cheap, and super reliable.

from Dana Point, CA Date Reviewed: June 2, 2009 Strengths: Light with good rolling resistance. Good looks. Rims seem to hold up well. Weaknesses: Hubs keep loosening up on me and I have to re-tighten every couple of rides. This is annoying. They loosen up on my rides and then the rear cassette begins to have too much play which causes the chain to slip. I've taken these wheels into my LBS and they keep tightening the hubs. But then they just come loose again... very annoying. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $350.00 Purchased At: MTBR Classifieds Bike Setup: Niner Air 9
