Pros & Cons

Quality


After a fair amount of amazon reading, i chose these tires, and was very pleased with the purchase.

    I have to say they do take a beating

    You can buy at least 410 sets of these wheels for the same cost as an expensive wheelset


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Like others i found the hub to be too tight so i had to loosen it before mounting on the bike


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For some reason i found it very difficult to adjust the rear wheel when mounting it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It would spin freely when held by the hub but was way too tight when i put it on the bike


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
