Kore Streamline

Price Paid:  $0.00

Bike Setup:
lynskey R120
sram rival

Summary:
Got these wheels as part of a build kit, and had about 300 troubled k's on them. Spokes loosened off several times, seemingly every 20ks. In the end the LBS lock-tighted them, but they still creaked, and groaned whenever I stood up to push. They also rattled over every bump in the road. Would not recommend them if you are a bit heavy like me. For a lighter rider they might be ok.

Strengths:
spin up quick, feel nimble
relatively light for the price

Weaknesses:
spokes loosening
rattling and creaking
not for heavy riders

Summary:
I bought the wheelset from a private person but it whas a new set and still in the box. After aprox. 1000km I heard ticking noises and found that some spokes in the back wheel where loose. I spanned them again and then spanned all the spokes 1/4 turn to get a tight wheel.
After some 100ths of kilometers I heard a ticking noise again and now I found that the spoke nipples are coming through the rim. There are litle bursts at every spoke nipple on the pignon side.

Strengths:
The front wheel is good

Weaknesses:
The rimm is not strong enough at the nipple holes
