from surrey, bc canada Date Reviewed: October 15, 2010 Strengths: look sturdy/beefy Weaknesses: rim's o.d. is a tad big, making tire installation a nightmare. i got a 2.4 maxxis ardent & i can install this tire to my old mavic 321 with bare fingers but on dual duty, it's a chore & you need good levers. broke my 15 yr old plastics lever loading my tire on this rim. worst of all, tire does not sit onto rim properly. you need to lightly inflate to 5 psi & push out to position properly around ~6" arc portion of tire i.d. out of rim, otherwise tire will be wobbling big time! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: gear jammer, sfu Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $120.00 Purchased At: bike zone Bike Setup: kona 04 coiler, stocked parts except upgrade to avid CR 8" brakes (hayes 9 sucks) and flat pedals

from SLO Date Reviewed: June 26, 2006 Strengths: Wow what a wheelset. These are the nicest wheels I have ever owned. Super strong, and lightweight too. The 30mm width makes a smaller tire ride like a bigger tire, because it gives it a much larger "footprint". Bearings are super smooth, and very quiet. The black on black looks really nice too ! Weaknesses: Price, but you get what you pay for. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $275.00 Purchased At: on line Similar Products Used: You name it. Bike Setup: 03 Bullit 5th Element, Z1QR20, variuos heavy duty trail / freeride stuff.
