from Laguna Niguel, CA Date Reviewed: March 9, 2003 Strengths: See to work well as a front wheel only. Disc ready. Weaknesses: I have ridden these wheels for about 6 months now and have had repeated issues with breaking spokes and tweaking the rims out of "true". Seems that anytime you ride with these wheels, they go wrong somehow. Overall, not up too semi-aggressive cross county riding.
