Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:
$400.00
Purchased At:
Buena Park bikes
Strengths:
Feel is very solid with the right tires
Weaknesses:
Weight, They made by bike feel a little heavy
Similar Products Used:
none
Bike Setup:
Turner 5 Spot 09 DW Link Med , custom build.
Bottom Line:
I like em alot but there is a weight penalty. If you climb like I do, then you will feel the weight after an hour or 2.
The front wheel set up should use the 20mm TA. I went from QR to 20mm and loved the 20mm. I have a rock shox pike 454 with a Big Betty up front, The 2omm Crossline frnt wheel just hook up and eats up the bumpies.
Cool wheels for a freerider, downhiller or a thrasher.
I ride more XC and enduro type stuff, so I don't dig the 2055 grams per set.
I might move em to a future build for a heavier bike.

Strengths:
stiff, look awesome, feel light
Weaknesses:
stickers on rims get chewed up pretty quick--who cares?
Bike Setup:
hardtail AM rig
Bottom Line:
These wheels are a good combination of stiffness and weight. ITS4 freehub hooks up super fast. QRM+ adjustable hubs are great. I ride cross country and medium freeride and these things haven't been a worry even on some really bad landings. Im not sure how much I trust the 20mm to QR adapters on front or back, but no problems so far. It took 2 months to get the front qr adapter from mavic, but just turned some of my own on the lathe before those got in. Price reflects the value, but beware if you're running a qr fork (I've got a Marz. AM SL), it may take a couple of months to get the adapters: my shop said Mavic is way backed up.
