Strengths:
Strength, weight, ability to build with spokes and hub you want.
Weaknesses:
to be honest, I can't say right now. even after 2 years. I wouldn't complain about the weight, they are lighter than the competition in this same class. I've always found the graphics to be butt ugly, but whatever, they're usually covered in mud.
Similar Products Used:
Mavic 819, Rhyno-Lites, Sun Singletracks (came stock on 05 Enduro)
Bike Setup:
05 Enduro. DHX Air 5.0; TALAS 36. Hone cranks, rear hub and rear derailleur. Stock Spec front 20mm hub. Tubeless with the yellow tape (Schwalbe UST Albert in front and High Roller LUST in the rear)
Bottom Line:
Awesome. I'm surprised these have lasted this long. I ride 2-3 times a week in rocky muddy rooty East Coast conditions. I'm relatively heavy at 210lbs w/o gear, and I used to go through a rear rim a year on average. These are light and strong, have held up to two seasons of riding and the yellow tape seals well and holds air perfectly (virtually no air loss with proper UST tires).
I give these a high value rating because they cost about the same as the competition but last longer, and a high overall rating because they perform excellent. It's hard to go wrong with these puppies.
