Summary:
good strong wheel, if you want it to be the best get it rebuilt w strong @ss spokes at a trusted shop, dont worry about the first review since he knows nothing about wheels..i weigh 230 and got my rear rebuilt before i bought the bike and it works perfect, road wheels and bikes arent ment for heavy or big people..thats why spokes break easly plus there entry level..what do you expect??

Strengths:
stiff and strong

Price Paid:  $45.00 at campione calgary

Favorite Ride:
whatever

Bike Setup:
this rim is on a fixed commuter that has taken some abuse. rims still perfect.

Summary:
Awesome rims, not amazingly light weight, but strong enough for cyclocross. Build up easily, good braking surface, stiff rims in general.

Strengths:
Strong, light enough. in response to spoke breaking complaint: it has nothing to do with the rim and eveything to do with the build. don't knock the product for an incompentent wheel build.

Weaknesses:
none so far

Price Paid:  $80.00 at Cycles Gaansari, Spr

Favorite Ride:
none

Bike Setup:
Modernized '80's lugged steel Schwinn. Campy Record freewheel hubs. Front wheel DT Revolution 14/17g spokes.

Summary:
These rims have been virtually trouble-free after many hundreds of miles. I have the 28 hole versions (built them up myself) and they never have needed truing. I use them for light touring, commuting, and recreational riding.

Strengths:
Good looking, seems to be good quality. Good value. Sturdy. Not too heavy.

Weaknesses:
None that I know of.
