Strengths: Looks good.Weaknesses: Spokes.Bottom Line: On April 3, 2013, I purchased a Schwinn Fastback Sport road bike that came equipped Alexrims R500 wheels. After 420 miles a spoke broke and wheel became untrue. The local bike shop owner said it would take him three weeks to get the right replacement spokes. After conducting research on these wheels, it seems broken spokes is a very common problem with these wheels. I guess I need to start looking for replacement wheels and throw these Alexrims R500 in the trash.

Strengths: Robust Stylish ReliableWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Not the lightest wheel but as to value for money, I cant fault these. I had these on a Specialized hybrid that I rode for 7500 miles. Not a single broken spoke, rusty nipple or any other problems. I only had to have them trued once in all those miles. Wouldnt hesitate to recomend these.
