Strengths: weight and the no tubes rim standardWeaknesses: Flimsy, spoke come loose after ever ride or two, hubs suckBottom Line: I've had these wheels for about 4 months and they are done already. I ride mostly AM and XC and I've still manages to flat spot the front wheel once, and the back wheel twice on small (3-4') drops because the spokes had came loose on a longer ride. I have had to tighten spokes and true the wheels after every ride. Also the 20mm adapter for the front wheels are not that great. They let don't shield the bearings very well and the bearings, front and rear, are getting rough already. The back cassette body is almost seized up already also. Every once in a while it will catch and I'll get the chain all caught up in the cassette. I wouldn't recommend these wheels.

Strengths: Weight, Strength, Stiffness, Tubless Compatability, Price, Serviceability
Solid feeling, smooth rolling, and BST technologyWeaknesses: None so farBottom Line: Being that Sun Ringle liscensed the BST tech from Stans NOtubes, these rims are awesome! Tubeless compatible with a floor pump and Eyeleted rims. I wanted something beefy for my all Mtn adventures and with the 28mm rim width and Tubless tech, these wheels don't dissapoint.
I run the Black Flag Expert on my 29er for the same reasons as stated above. They Rock!
Sun Ringle is putting out some sleeper wheels these days for a reasonable price and it's nice to see in the day and age of $10,000 carbon wheelset.
These flat out work and work darn well for the price!

Strengths: Lightweight, Torsional stifnessWeaknesses: Front hub bearings exposed to dirt and mud cause the 20 mm adapters are not well done...Bottom Line: Sun Ringle Charger Expert 26" wheelset is a good product, real weight is 1880 gr. (front and rear) with Stan’s No Tubes BST Technology Rim Tapes and valves assembled, not so bad!
Ok, the msrp price is high, but you can easily save a lot of money on the web.
The hubs have a good flow. The rear hub makes the typical Sun-Ringle loud sound, not the right equipment to do a trap on the trail!
20 mm and 15 mm adapters are included as rear quick release and Stan’s No Tubes BST Technology Rim Tapes and valves and 2 x Stan's No Tubes tire sealant 2oz bottles, so all you need to mount tubeless tires.
The only negative is 20 mm front adapters, they don't keep the bearings cleaned...
