Strengths: Rolls Smoothly/ front hub options 9/15/20mm/ tubeless ready. Still true after loosing 4 spokes on the rear.
Will suggest to use for XC only. LIGHTWEIGHT/BLINGY gold hubsWeaknesses: alum nippleBottom Line: Love this wheelset, I want to make it stronger by changing the nipples to brass.
160lbs all geared -up, I've used it 3x for DH/FR w/drops/jumps rocky terrains etc.. which is not made for this type of riding/abuse(100%my fault, cause I cant wait for my stronger set & decided to try if it can take punishment), I broke 1 spoke on the rear after my 3rd..
Still decided to use for 20mi xc ride w/ 1 spoke missing, eventually spoke came off one by one on the downhill sections, but was still able to finish the ride w/ total of 4 spokes missing on the rear (nondrive side) & its still true! that make's it easier for me to replace the spokes.

Strengths: price, rock solid build for a 24 spoke , 1550g tubeless compatible wheelsetWeaknesses: cheesy yellow hub, Literrally cheese colored!! Not a big deal though, easily stands out and I Kinda like it that way...Bottom Line: Looks are quite better than I anticipated, and weighing in at just over 1550g with tape and 2oz sealant...
THIS WHEELSET CANT BE BEAT!!!
this hub actually looks quite nice with my pg990 cassette with the red body, and the strength and stretch of the 24 spoke dbl butted wheelsmith spokes has been great as of yet for screaming down the local singletrack,... NO negatives really too pick on...

Strengths: Light, tubeless, flashy, apparently quite durableWeaknesses: None discovered yetBottom Line: I've only had a handful of rides so far because of rain, but I'm a big fan of these wheels. They're light and so far display enough strength to be used on my jump bike when I want to get off the 24's and ride a little faster.
I seated the beads of my tires with a hand pump easily. Even though they use Stan's notubes (c) tech, the rims have eyelets.
They're an excellent choice for racing, and general xc use. I weigh 150 and am not afraid to throw myself down the trail as my buddies can attest. I've bunny hopped logs, ridden jumps and drop-offs, and even crashed and have noticed no deflection in the rims. You can probably throw in some trail and a little AM riding remaining confident that these wheels will carry you without complaint.
The black rims with gold hubs look great. The stickers looked a bit cheesy at first, but I don't mind. They could probably be removed easily enough. There are two white spokes at on either side of the valve hole. The spokes are straight-pull laced two cross without touching. The resulting appearance is spectacular. As a bonus they came with hub spacers for 9mm QR, 15mm QR, and 20mm (Maxle). I've already had them on the DMR, which sports a Maxle fork. I'm not sure which hub they use, but I'm perfectly satisfied with the engagement and the loud ratcheting while freewheeling.
Go and get yourself a pair already!
I will update my review if my opinion changes or I have even nicer things to add.
