The new WTB SpeedDisc Trail and 29er rims deliver the same great I-beam features as the LaserDisc series rims, but at a more affordable price. They are further enhanced with new features unseen on bicycle rims and deliver a new standard for other rim makers to follow. SpeedDisc rims are trustworthy doublewall, disc-specific, XC design with characteristic WTB rim strength.

Strengths: inexpensive, easy to true
Weaknesses: bent under hard riding
Bottom Line:
these wheels have endured some hard riding including big 4-5 foot drops to rock and some jump sessions and with some occasional truing have been going strong for over 2 years.
that said there now ready to be upgraded as one rear spoke is broken and the front wont come into true, also the bearings on the disc side of the front hub are pitted, likely due to washing and not greasing enough.
