Good Components, Bad Assembly
Components on this wheel are good - if you are expecting a functional wheel without any frills. This is exactly what I was after since this was going on a commuter bike. However, the machine build was not good - wheel came out of the box looking nice and true, but on the first ride the spokes became really loose after only 4-5 miles. I had to completely retension and true the wheel in order to make the return trip. Not exactly what I was hoping for in a new wheel! If you buy this wheel plan on retensioning it after a very short initial ride.
Pros: Components look to be durable.
Cons: Spoke tensioning was horrible.
Would Buy Again: Yes
Would Recommend: No
