Reviews
Pros
No penetrations through the rim
Stiff
Good looking
Strong spokes
Cons
Hard to find spare spokes in bike shops
Review
Nice set of wheels that require no rim stip to go tubless. I have had a set on my Pivot Mach 4 for over two seasons with no issues at all. Very stiff wheels compared to some other XC models.

Pros
Super strong and true right out of the box. Fresh styling turns heads on the trail. Split skewers are kinda cool.
Cons
Noisy freewheel hub can be annoying after a long time coasting. Expensive.
Review
These wheels are tight. Lightweight but still super stiff and strong, even when jumping.
