Weaknesses: Within an hour of my first ride with these puppies, I took a sharp corner, kicked up a stone, and it broke the spoke at the nipple and put a flatspot the size of a 50 cent piece on the rear wheel. End my experience with these, enter Bombshells!!

from College Station, TX Date Reviewed: May 14, 2002 Strengths: Looks like a really tough wheelset. The rim is rather tall and could take a beating. Weaknesses: I broke the cassette hub body after only two hours of riding. The biggest weakness is AtomLab customer service. I ordered my wheelset as QR front and rear. They arrived as a 20mm front hub and the correct rear. The front hub was damaged due to improper packaging (the hub was poking out of the box). They were supposed to ship the correct wheel to replace the front--one week went by. When riding, I broke the rear hub. They were supposed to send two new wheels--two more weeks went by. I called and said I wanted to get a refund--two weeks went by. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $240.00 Purchased At: AtomLab Similar Products Used: Hope Big'un hubs on Sun Ringle Singlewide rims, XT disc hubs on OEM Sun Ringle Ditchwitch rims. Bike Setup: 2001 Kona Roast--Profile racing chromolly cranks, FSA pig DH headset, XT der's, stock components.
