Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)(I have purchased both the front and rear wheel of this set, and the reviews are identical) These are some heavy wheels, right around 3lbs, but they are sturdy and should withstand some potholes. The hubs are initially tight but smooth out after a week of riding. My largest complaint is about the rims. First, they are not beaded, so make sure your tires are not too loose (in diameter). Second, where the rims are welded into a circle, the outside of the wall has a very noticeable dip. This becomes apparent when you apply your brakes: thump, thump, thump. Third, there are about 20 small holes on the inside of the rim, about the diameter of a spoke hole. These holes have sharp edges and are begging to pierce your inner-tube. They sit too high on the walls for a standard rim strip to cover. If you want to cover them, you'd have to buy a lot of rim tape and do up the whole inside of the rim.
Concerning the 2nd point, I actually returned the front wheel thinking it was a lemon, but the replacement wheel was almost identical in the dip at weld location. The same is true of the rear wheel.
