I don't know how many times I've accadently picked up a large stick off the trail that managese to jam into the spokes of the rear wheel. Just a buck to get a bent or broke spoke replaced at the LBS if you know how to do it yourself. I would cry if that happened to a fresh set of CB wheels. Do the wheels come with extra spoke and nipples since they are custom for the wheels? Nice review! These wheels look great, but I’m still not sold.

But as with most of Crank Brothers gear..... i'm sure that they will fall apart. I'd be interested in a follow up review after some time on the dirt. Great first impressions!

It was hard to have a conversation. But they do look very nice.

If you're like me though you leave this to the pros... Unfortunately I won't be able to see how these perform long term - Crank Bros. only loaned 'em to us for 2 weeks :( Suvacrew, you can use a standard spoke wrench on the wheels if they get out of true.

At $1000 a pair for either the Cobalt or AM spec'd Iodine....they better last and if they get out of true, what is the process of correcting it..if possible. Seriously nice hoops though.
