Strengths: LIGHT, STRONG, CHEAP.A DOUBLE PINNED AND WIELDED RIM THAT HAS TRIED AND PAST THE TEST OF TIME. DISK ONLY LOOKS PIMP.
Weaknesses: IF I FIND ANY ILL LET YOU KNOW.
Overall: A CLASSIC RIM THAT WOULD DO FOR ANY KIND OF RIDING AND 'IF' THEY DO BREAK THEY DONT COST AN ARM AND A LEG TO REPLACE.I GOT MINE FOR £23. IF YOU LOOK HARD ENOUGH SOME PLACES ARE DOIN A PAIR FOR LESS THAN £30.(OLD STOCK BUT WHO CARES ABOUT A FEW NEW STICKERS)GOT THEM BUILT UP ONTO HOPE XC (REAR) AT MY LOCAL SHOP (BIKESURGEON.COM) FOR £125 ALL IN.
Strengths: AFTER RUNNING A SET FOR SIX MONTHS I HONESTLY CANT THINK OF ANY. ONLY RAN THEM THAT LONG TILL I COULD AFFORD A NEW WHEEL SET
Weaknesses: WHERE DO I START. TURNED UP UNTRUED WITH NO TENSION ON THE SPOKES. DENT SO EASILY ITS UNTRUE, ENDLESS SNAKE BITES NO MATTER HOW MUCH AIR WAS IN THEM. CONES CAME LOOSE WAY TO EASY AND EVENTUALY RUSTY ORANGE MUCK STARTED TO POUR OUT OFF THE FREE HUB. ALSO SPLIT WHERE THE WELDING WAS.
Overall: YOU WOULD THINK I HAD BEEN DOIN 10FT DROPS ONTO CONCRETE BY THE SOUNDS OF THE ABOVE BUT I DONT, 3FT AT A PUSH.IT WAS KERBS AND THE ODD LOG THAT DONE THE DAMAGE, NOT MUCH CONSIDERING THEIR "BOMBPROOF" STATUS. IF YOU FEEL YOU REALLY NEED TO GET A SET THEN CONSIDER DOING A WHEEL BUILDING COURSE BEFORE HAND.YOU WILL DITCH THE RIMS EVENTUALY I GUARANTEE SO GO FOR THE SEALED HUBS IF YOU MUST.
