Lifetime Bicycles in Loganville
Strengths:
Strong rims for the weight, good hubs that are fast and strong as well.
Weaknesses:
none
Bike Setup:
Specialized Hard Rock Sport disc with many upgrades
Bottom Line:
For the price they are awesome. I doubt you could find a better wheel set-up for the price. I'm over 200lbs and I do a couple of drops sometimes (no more than 3 feet) and they stay straight and true. Hubs are alot faster than my old stock ones. Good deal.

Strengths:
Bomb proof, Great Value, disk or rim brake compatible. Stay true even for a 215lb rock bashing rider.
Weaknesses:
Not the lightest but I will take durability over lighter rotational weight. I don't race so I'm not weight weinie.
Similar Products Used:
mavic rims on specialized hubs(broke spokes constantly and had to true to avoid brake rub.
Bike Setup:
2002 dual suspention Specialized Rockhopper. LX Drive train exept shifters. LX crank, Judy C fork, fox float rear 4", sette xlr bars( .75inch riser), LX brake levers, rim brakes(still work great but not as sexy as disks), Blackburn quadrant light, XC fire pro tires(love them). XT hubs with Ryno lite XL rims--Rest is stock.
Bottom Line:
Flexability to do disk or rim brakes. Most important is price and reliability. They fit well with my 2.1 tire. Probably not great with 1.9. I gave them 5 chiles for value and rating because these wheels do what they are suppost to. Again not for XC racing but weekend warriors should not hesitate. 2 wheels for 150!
