$399.00 | | Purchased At: | Local bike shop | | Strengths: | Strong, good tubeless system | | Weaknesses: | none so far | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano,WTB,and Hope wheelsets | | Bike Setup: | 2008 Intense Tracer medium frame, Marzocchi al mtn. SL 160mm fork, Hope M4 brakes, XTR cranks, Sram XO shifters & Der., Thomson stem, Crank Bros. Joplin, Easton bars. | | Bottom Line: | About six rides on this wheelset so far, and I think they are great. Feels strong and is a respectable weight for the money. A five year warranty is nice too. This is my first tubeless wheelset and the set up was simple with the included rim strip, they beaded up and held air no problem. I'm not running UST tires, I have the standard Nevegal 2.3 front and rear with Stan's juice and so far no problem. The bike sat unused for the past week and I figured they would lose a little air. But to my surprise when I checked today it was still at 28 psi. I also like the 28mm wide rims because it gives the tire a fatter profile, makes the 2.3's look huge. If your looking for a good reasonable price wheelset, that seems to have the warranty to back them and is a solivalue. Then I would recommend looking at these. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$375.00 | | Strengths: | light tubeless very strong hubs are made by DT Swiss. I think there DT swiss 370 hubs from what i could find about them. | | Bottom Line: | I really was not sure what i was going to think about the rims i have been riding 32 spoke rims for 6years. I did not think with my body wight i could do 28 spoke. but there holding up really good i like the tubeless part its my 1st tubeless rim and i love it. very little flex. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$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: |
