Roll ‘em if you got ‘em! The brand new BLUNT wheel set uses our new 29er rim. At 28mm wide the BLUNT is designed to give you the control and confidence you need to get through the toughest of trails. They are able to handle the widest 29er tires available, yet are remarkably light for a rim of this width. When you are burning down the trail, these rims will handle the way a world class set of 29er wheels should. Laced three cross to sealed bearing Velocity ATB disc hubs with double butted spokes and brass nipples. Single speed disc hubs are also available. Enjoy the ride!

Strengths:
Easy to build, superb to ride, hardcore indestructibility
Weaknesses:
Are you one of those wussies who weighs something before you can decide if its a good product or not? They are light enough. Give up on on the weight weenie thing. You aren't racing in the tour.

Bike Setup:
Hope SS hubs and DT comp spokes on a Surly Karate Monkey
Bottom Line:
Sweet rims. At 6'5", 220lbs and on a SS I'm ideal for destroying week stuff, but these have held. Minimal truing needed. I have the utmost faith in velocity products from road to mountain and will continue buying from them well into the future.

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
Good wheels, can take the knocks of daily XC riding. I replaced my stock wheels with this set (see the other review) and I am plaesed right off the bat. THey arent as light as my racing wheel set but they are a lot tougher than the WTB's that came with my bike. THey hold the tires well and can take quite the pounding. I will buy Velcity products in the future
