from Canyon Lake, TX USA Date Reviewed: March 19, 2008 Strengths: Bulletproof, quiet freewheel, lightweight, titanium spokes, great overall wheelset. I broke 2 spokes in the 5 years I've had them. The wheel didn't go out of true with 2 spokes missing. I actually finished the ride. Weaknesses: A little slop/flex in the front. Can't justify new wheels anymore. Had to use "need thru-axle" as an excuse to replace. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Walnut Creek Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $349.00 Purchased At: Nashbar Similar Products Used: Cheapmano Deorke wheels.
