$299.00 | | Purchased At: | B and L | | Strengths: | Great price, rim width lets you run whatever tire you want, tubeless compatible, light for type of wheel, Bontrager quality, no frills just dependable, solid stuff | | Weaknesses: | Non tubeless tires are a bit hard to sit on the rim correctly, but nothing too annoying, rear hub could engage a little quicker | | Bike Setup: | Spesh M5 Epic, BB7, xt stuff | | Bottom Line: | These are pretty sweet wheels, they are relatively cheap, at least I bought them for cheap, they are sturdy, and are light, only 20 some grams heavier than the race lites. They are wide, so you can run just about any size tire you want, the hubs are just fine, they aren't kings or white's but the engagement isn't horrible, def, better than the the shimano's I upgraded from. If you are looking for an upgraded wheelset that isn't too expensive these are it. I am very happy of the purchase.

Date Reviewed: November 20, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | Razorback (RIP) | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | Oliver's | | Strengths: | Strong! Wide. Stays true. TLR | | Weaknesses: | The hubs take a few more degrees of rotation to engage than my last set (Sun) but I'm so used to it now it's a non-issue | | Bike Setup: | Kona Kula Delux | | Bottom Line: | Great wheels! I have 1500 miles on them and have had no issues. They are as true today as when I bought them. I run tubeless with the supplied plastic rim strip. The system works really well with Bonty Revolt X TLR 2.2 and Jones ACX TLR 2.2 tires. The bead holds well and I haven't had any burps. I weigh 205# and I've tried to kill these things but they just soak it up. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
