Date Reviewed: February 27, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$550.00 | | Strengths: | Cheap | | Weaknesses: | Light. Twitchy. Do not give you a solid footing or feedback from the trail at high speeds. Too flexy and nosiey. | | Similar Products Used: | Mavic, DTSwiss | | Bike Setup: | Specialized Enduro 2008 - XT | | Bottom Line: | If your looking for an upgraded wheelset for all mountain riding then keep looking. These wheels are light which makes the ride up the hill easier, but if your bombing the downhill these will not instill confidence. They feel cheap at high speeds and I can hear the rim and spokes flexing more than I do my suspension. I wish I would have spent a few more dollors for some real all mountain/downhill wheels. I would mot even use these for XC. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$830.00 | | Purchased At: | Chain Wheel Drive Clearwater | | Strengths: | So far, everything. Light,Strong and True. They are as light as they say on the website. Look cool. | | Weaknesses: | Non yet | | Similar Products Used: | Several mid-level Mavic sets over the years. | | Bike Setup: | 08 Stumpy Pro Frame, XT cranks, Juicy 5 brakes, X-9 Drivetrain, Roval Traversee Wheelset, Rival SL seat, Minute 4 fork, Egg Beaters, 2Bliss Eskar and Captain Tires, Ect. Ect. | | Bottom Line: | So far these wheels have done what they say they would. They are, in fact, lighter than the "all Mountain" Industry Nine sets and are just as "pimpy" in a more classic way (don't get me wrong, the Indy 9's are awsome)but, these cost way less and seem great. The 2bliss system from Specialized has also been flawless. They are lighter than most high-line xc wheelsets and definetly beefier. Also, the front hub is awesome, the perminent option of quick release or 2 sizes of thru-axle is great to have for future upgrading (looks like alot of xc/all-mountain forks may have through axels soon). Buy em if you can. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
