    Date Reviewed: March 13, 2008
    Duration Product Used:2 Years
    Price Paid: $450.00
    Purchased At:LBS
    Strengths:Strong, Strong, Strong.
    Weaknesses:A little heavy, not all that pretty, but neither am I.
    Bike Setup:Kustom Kona hardtail
    Bottom Line:I have over 5000 hard miles on these wheels and they have only had to be trued once. In fact it was just the back one. It was out of dish but still true. It resulted from a very cool looking crash.
    I upgraded the bearings to a set of Philwood bearings.

    Date Reviewed: February 17, 2008
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Strengths:Front wheel seems strong, wheels aren't TOO heavy
    Weaknesses:Rear free hub body seems to have trouble engaging. I took it apart and can't see anything wrong, but clicking noises seem to keep popping up.
    Similar Products Used:DeeTraks, WTB dual duty FR, King Earl wheels, Sun Ringle Ryhno lite XL
    Bottom Line:A good front wheel, but the rear hub is very questionable (I'll probably replace the rear wheel when I have the money).
