These were my first foray into the fulcum arena. I now own a pair of redmetal zeros and use these as my back up. Still really like these

Pros
Solid construction and quality, smooth bearings and sturdy 20mm oversized hubs. Excellent value! Sporty looks (though may feel it's OTT).
Cons
none (though could be a bit lighter).
Review
I got these after contemplating Mavic CrossRide and CrossTrail offering. These are more comparable to the CrossTrail. I got them new online for just a tad more than the CrossRide. They perform great and are confidence inspiring - perfect for me as I develop my off-road skills. Looking for a smooth, reliable, reasonably lightwieght wheelset, look no further!
Pros
Lightweight tough wheels with pull-straight spokes. Spin freely, great looks at a great price!
Cons
none
Review
I don't worry about bending these wheels at all, one less thing to worry about when beating down some rough terrain. These wheels won't let you down...try them out and you will see.
