dreed Date Reviewed: February 26, 2013 Strengths: I bought these wheels in the summer of 2008 and still have not had a single problem with them. I put them on a hard-tail race singlespeed. I have ridden these wheels hard since then and still have not had to even true them. They ride like a dream and are an amazing wheel for the pricepoint. Weaknesses: none Bottom Line:

from NJ Date Reviewed: June 22, 2009 Strengths: Good looking, smooth bearings, not that heavy (for the price), accept UST or regular tires. Very true when new, stable in turns or when pushed hard, the spokes are glued into the nipples. Weaknesses: The cassette clicking sound is a bit loud, the stickers with the logo look nice but not sure how long will last on wheels used in rough terrain.
