Strength:
Look sharp
Weakness:
Haven't found any yet These rims came with a wheelset I bought at LBS. I'm sure they were taken off a new bike that was upgraded. Never had a problem with them. Recently I laced on a new rear hub myself. No problems yet. I'm 190 and ride like a bulldozer. Lots of logs, small drops and some small jumps. I think most complaints about rims have to do with a bad wheel build more than the rims themselves. Tension and truing is key. One chili off for not having reinforced eyelets in the spoke holes. Like I said, no problems yet, but I'm just sayin... |

Strength:
Durable
Weakness:
None that I`ve found I`ve ridden these wheels pretty hard (a relative term for moutain bikers) for five years and they`ve held up just great. They`ve survived several crashes and come through better than I have.

Strength:
haven't had any problems what so ever
Weakness:
none that I know of. OEM equipment on my 06 Prophet. No problems with them what so ever, they have remained true since day 1. While I'm not a hard core biker, I'm no girly man and like to push myself, I've thrown a lot of stuff at this bike and have not had any problems. Similar Products Used: OEM |

They LOOK like Carbon

They are weak and soft and it doesnt take much to break them. These rims almost cost me my life.

Strength:
pretty neat looks
Weakness:
one second day ride I hit the curb with rear wheel pretty hard, but not that hard. Well the rims is not as perfect it was before. I was expecting more from these rims, as a starter they are fine but i don't recommend them.. Similar Products Used: classic aluminum rim (absorbed even harder hits better ) |

Strength:
They are 'light'...look good...thats all.
Weakness:
Are WEAK, do not hold up, i destroyed them on my first ride. DO NOT buy them unless they come stock OEM on your bike. Buy a higher end mavics like Xc 717, MX 727 etc.. Dont bother. Similar Products Used: none |
