Quality

The description is a bit misleading and you shouldnt run anything larger than 28s you might be able to get away with 32s on these internal rim width is extremely narrow but other than that this is a sold wheel

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

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
