Duration Product Used:
Tested or demo'ed only
Purchased At:
Spinergy
Strengths:
Spinergy Warranty and Customer Service Department. Specifically Joe
Weaknesses:
None that I have seen, the Falline replaced my set that was out of production. They really took care of me with the crash pricing and quick turnaround. They made recommendations as far as updates and service that the wheels/hubs needed.
Similar Products Used:
Atomic Laboratories
Bike Setup:
04 Titus Switchblade LG, Marzocchi bomber z3, Hayes 8" front& rear. Azonic,Titec,Cane Creek,Saint.. blah blah blah....Environmentally streamlined componentry :)
Bottom Line:
After I took my wheel in to get strung buy local shop here in Bentonville AR (no names mentioned) They strung it up never called me and upon arrival told me that the new wheel was different that the one I had brought in. AAARRRRGH! they didn't pick up the phone and ask and I still paid them 70 bucks because I believe in supporting the local shops. Just not that one anymore.
Anyway Joe at Spinergy went above and beyond and I truly thank them for it and will continue to use their product and be a brand advocate for Spinergy until I have to install them on my wheelchair!!!!!!!!!!!!

Duration Product Used:
3 months
Price Paid:
$580.00
Purchased At:
EBAY
Strengths:
In french : Une réponse à l'accélération surprenante, trés grande tolérance mais pourtant une rigidité hors paire.
Weaknesses:
Le poids n'a rien d'extra-ordianaire, à peine moins que des Deemax; Distribuées par FMF.
Similar Products Used:
Deemax.
Bike Setup:
Spécialized DEMO 8 Pro en deux versions : 180 avec Totem et DHX Air + court, en 200 avec FOX RC2 et DHX 5.0 ; Magura GUSTAV M for ever !
Bottom Line:
Des roues surprenantes à bien des égards : un look peu commun qui inspire confiance (moyeux et rayonnage), et surtout un comportement trés dynamique. Tolérantes voire souples, ces roues renvoient le moindre effort comme un coup de fouet, un gain au coup de pédale et une précision en guidage dans du défoncé et au freinage. Exccellente prestation avec la fourniture des outils de tension de rayons (attention, rayons un peu chers en France : FMF passe par là !). A utiliser pour du FR car tolérantes, en DH car dynamiques. Sur Ebay, moins chères qu'une paire de Deemax en port payé !

from Vista, CA Date Reviewed: January 28, 2007
Duration Product Used:
6 months
Strengths:
This wheels are super burly while being fairly light compared to the other FR/DH wheels I have seen. Basically they are within the weight range of an all-mountain wheel but with the burlyness of a full blown downhill wheel. The wide (39mm) rims immediately give your tires a better foot print. The front wheels can be switched from 20mm through axle to a quick release setup in a snap if you have plans to switch wheels between bikes. You can also get the rear in either 9mm QR or 12 through axle. (I have the 9mm version)
Weaknesses:
None really worth mentioning. The PBO spokes are not found in every bikeshop so like other high end wheels that use unique spokes you may want to get a spare before you need one. I have never busted one on the trail and you can get them right from Spinergy
Similar Products Used:
I have been loving my Xyclone Discs on my XC bike for four years. The Specialized Enduro wheels that came with my bike.
Bike Setup:
Specialized Enduro Pro, Fox 36RC2 upfront, Raceface baseguard and the rest is a mix of XT and XTR components
Bottom Line:
I do not worry about breaking my wheels! These wheels have taken plenty of abuse and have not given me one bit of trouble. They are light enough to keep an otherwise heavy bike in the climbable realm yet burly enough to allow you to go screaming down gnarly techno-fest mountains (if you dare) with full cofindence in your wheels.
