    Favoriate Trail:Flat Rock Ranch in Comfort Texas
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $600.00
    Purchased At:San Antonio
    Strengths:Fast rolling, light weight wheelset. Noticable difference as soon as your on the trail. A lot more lateral stiffness than I thought they would have. Not to shabby to look at either.
    Weaknesses:Had a spoke pull out of the hub; However the rim stayed true. Initially very stressed, but it was super easy to fix. Loosen it up, pop it back in place tighten down, and finish riding. The wheel is still true some 6 months later.
    Similar Products Used:DT Swiss X420 I believe (tacoed!!)
    Bike Setup:Initially on Stumpjumer comp (hardtail). Currently on my Pivot Mach 5.
    Bottom Line:I initially bought these because I could not pass up the discount I was given after destroying the stock rims on my Stumpy. I bought them before I knew who they were made for. I have not and will not change my aggressive riding style. I live in Texas, so I'm not bombing or dropping daily. I refuse to change my riding line because it looks to technical or the drops to big. This wheelset has exceeded my or the expectation of some of the more expeirenced riders I ride with.

    I did have to get a spacer/shimmy/washers so that my front disk would fit into the caliper smoothly. 6 washers cost my about 25 cents. Shimmy $15.

    I've read the reviews positive and negative. I would recommend these to friends. My friends who watch me beat up 3-4 times a week would also recommnet them. Two have purcashed the same set.

    Submitted by Paul Allan a Cross Country Rider from Houston, Texas, USA
    Date Reviewed: June 25, 2007
    Duration Product Used:2 Years
    Price Paid: $900.00
    Purchased At:West End Bikes, Houston
    Strengths:Light wheels, stiff.
    Weaknesses:Front wheel makes clicking sound. Dealer assures me it's not damaged, but a metal filing may have dislodged and is stuck inside the rim. Doesn't appear to be anything I can do about it. It's quite annoying. I've heard it's quite common with these wheels. I'll think twice about buying another pair.
    Bike Setup:2007 Specialized Stumpjumper with rime breaks.
    Bottom Line:Good, aside from the clicking sound.
