Within two weeks the rear hub blew...I sent it back and it was replaced within a month waiting period. Broke a few spokes but that's just my wear and tear. Four months later, rear hub blew again. When I took it off the bike half of the BROKEN axle fell out too. Seriously, one season of riding and the rear wheel broken twice! I'm hanging this one up as a decoration and not buying a wheelset from Easton again. I ride three times a week, in all weather, cross country. I don't jump at all! I've had other wheelsets for years before they wore out. This has been the weakest wheelset I've ever had...and I've been mountain biking since 1997. Not a good value if they don't last a year.
