a Cross Country Rider
from Portland Oregon Date Reviewed: August 24, 2010 Strengths: Light, silent rear hub, looked good at first. Weaknesses: Rim bent after the second ride and the rear hub has something rubbing and/or loose that make the rear brake vibrate. Called FSA warranty and they told me to grind down the part that was rubbing and told me I must have been abusing the wheels, and it's $80 to buy a new rim? 2 year warranty means nothing if they don't come through. Will never buy FSA wheels again. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Tarbell Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: Camas Bike and Sport Similar Products Used: Mavic Crossmax 29er, WTB lazerdisc 29er. Bike Setup: Great now that I removed these pieces of $&#@!
