Strengths:
writing this review because was rinding yesterday and hopped a big curb and came down on the other side where my rim landed directly on another curd edge that i didn't see and i felt the curb hit my spine through the rim. i hit so hard that i got off to listen for air and there wasn't even the slightest bend. i thought for sure that i was buying a new rim and possibly going to the chiropractor.
Weaknesses:
might be a bit narrow for my size and riding
Similar Products Used:

06 felt straight shot/ revelations
Bottom Line:
i weigh 235 lbs and have a long history of rendering bikes useless.

Strengths:
Strength & durability
Weaknesses:
Possibly the fact that it's not a welded joint, but this hasn't proven to be a weakness yet.
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
2006 Faith 2, 888 SL ATA
Bottom Line:
I'm at least 203lbs with gear, and I hammered these wheels pretty hard last year, lots of rocks, cased a few doubles/step-ups. After a whole season of riding, they weren't even out of true. I did get on tiny little flat spot, but it was very superficial. Overall, a very good rim. Since they were stock on the bike, I don't know the price, so they'll get a least a 4 for value, and 4 for overall.
