Shimano XT WH-MT75 Wheelset
Product DescriptionThe disc-specific WH-MT75 Shimano XT 29R Centerlock wheelset is designed to work with Centerlock rotors. The wheels are tubeless compatible, and tires can also be mounted with tubes. Over locknut distance is 100mm in the front, 135mm in the rear. Both the front and rear wheels have labyrinth and contact seals protecting the angular contact bearings. The rear wheel is compatible with nine-speed cassettes, with a 11t minimum cog. The hollow axles are aluminum and come with aluminum-shafted quick release skewers. The hub shell is aluminum and anodized, and it utilizes the Centerlock rotor standard. 6 bolt rotors CAN be used, but require the use of an adaptor.

Matos Date Reviewed: November 6, 2012 Strengths: Wheels strong, rigid, lightweight and with excellent acceleration. After a year of heavy use on trails and competitions needed no maintenance. Weaknesses: Could be a little lighter. However, I understand that this may compromise the durability of the product. Bottom Line:

John Engström Date Reviewed: August 2, 2012 Strengths: Light and strong Durable setup, they are perfectly true after heavy weekly abuse during one year Despite the fairly narrow rims, they hold 2.2 inch tires really well at 30-65 psi Very smooth rim suitable for tubeless tires, great with tubes too The finish cleans up easily I have not seen any wear on the bearings/cones They roll better after one year with almost no friction (serviced three times) Weaknesses: The hubs are difficult to service. The first time was really tough, the third time however it felt just like any normal service work The worst thing about servicing the hubs is how easily the seal bushings (rubber-coated metal) bend, and Shimano warns starkly about reusing bent seals. I ended up ordering a bag of these seals, fortunately they are cheap The second worst thing is it's really delicate to lock the cones that close the bearings when service is done. It can take over 20 attempts to lock the cones in the correct position I think these Deore XT hubs may easily get ruined if the bearings are serviced wrong This type of spoke nuts are only available in not very durable aluminium (a cycle tech told me), though they have not needed any truing since I bought them The freewheel mechanism allows only minimal cleaning and lubrication, and must be removed before this can be done Bottom Line:

JSquared Date Reviewed: April 23, 2012 Strengths: Wheels stayed true until the end. Weaknesses: The rear hub disintigrated before one year of use which is pretty marginal. It is extremely difficult to mount and change tires. Bottom Line:

from Cornvegas, OR Date Reviewed: May 9, 2010 Strengths: Relatively light and stiff, quick setup, center-locks show no issues (except rotor compatibility). Setup with 3 different tires; 1 ust, two are not. Durable so far. No hub issues as mentioned above. Affordable if you find the sale. Has leaky tire issues for several rides, resulted in heavy impact with rocks due to low air pressure, luckily no dents, dings or scratches...impressed. Weaknesses: Center-lock? Jury may be out but no issues for me (Shimano HG61 12-36t, formula brakes). Pricey as listed. May opt for stiffer spokes if possible. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $350.00 Purchased At: chainlove Similar Products Used: First UST 29er rims Bike Setup: Mariachi, f29, formula oro's, x.7 1x9
