Strengths: Super-easy tubeless set up with Schwalbe tires, qr adapters, valves etc. included with purchase. Bearings roll for days out of the box, eyeleted rims (no nipples breaking like on Stans, or need to keep them lubed)
Weight was 1742g out of box with tape installed, no valves or skewers.Weaknesses: Be cooler if inner rim width were hair wider.Bottom Line: Got these babies 3 weeks ago and have logged about 300 miles. I mowed down my personal bests on two trails so far moving to these set up tubeless with Racing Ralphs. Compared to the wheels that came off my XXIX+G (xm280s with heavy tubed wire bead Saguaros), these are NIGHT AND DAY.....AND they roll smoother than WTBlaserdisc/X9s and Flow/StansHubbed rims I've ridden.
Spin up fast, climbs don't wear me out, I am coasting more carrying speed, and tubeless traction without the bounce of a higher pressure tubed tire.....well, it's freaking great. No noticeable lateral flex while riding or braking hard. Freehub is not annoyingly loud, but is loud enough to get trail runners/walkers or oncoming riders attention (which I like). Since the straight pull spokes do not contact each other, they resonate the ticks of the free hub.
I weigh 205....I rode these hard and after 300 miles they only needed a minor true-up (settling in). I found 33-34psi best for my weight, 32psi ok but have to watch my technique to not kiss the rim on roots. I just got back to my home trail today and its a ROOT FIESTA.......straight as an arrow they stay.
Hopefully these will last like my SingleTracks have!!!!! Sun makes a good rim. If their hubs keep rolling like they are now........I'll be stoked. I never thought I'd be able to feel such a difference in coasting speed......amazing.
