Bottom Line:
The only complaint I have with this rim is the mounting. I had to wet the rim with soapy water and put 70psi into the tire to get the bead to seat. I tried using a lower pressure of 25-30 and seating it by hand like the salsacycles website suggests, but this led nowhere. I don't think I would get these rims again solely for this factor. There are other rims out there that are just as light and don't require this much work to seat the bead. Other than the mounting I have no complaints with the rim.
