East Tiger Bike Setup:
Merlin TR3/2.5 Summary:
I heard disappointing things about these wheels, and I never had high expectations for them. That said I have been pleasently surprised with their performance at every step of our relationship. I heard they would fall apart and go out of true. Two full seasons of road and cross racing later, they are still true. They are crazy light, and the hubs are easy to adjust for the mechanically inclined. Strengths:
Silly light, durable despite my best efforts to destroy them, and the silver rims look trick. Weaknesses:
to the down sides...
The braking surface on the rim is not especially strong, though it is plenty to slow the bike while racing. After two years of abuse, the rims have some rattles and creaks here and there. The aluminum freehub body have been quite marfed and one has to be very careful when installing cassettes.
The wheels are noticably flexy in bumpy corners. Similar Products Used:
