Purchased At:
Doesn't matter
Weaknesses:
These wheels will not take even moderate abuse, nor stay true.
Similar Products Used:
First set of 29s, various 26s
Bike Setup:
08 Rip9 with a Manitou Minute 120
Bottom Line:
I'm 180 lbs, XC type rider on the rocky, rooty hills of central CT. No air, no hucking. From the start these wheels wouldn't stay true. A low speed hit on a big rock (daydreaming) while climbing ruined the front. I got an inexpensive laserdisc/XT replacement for the front and it's remained true. Getting a set of Flows next spring. If you only ride smooth trails these might be ok.
