Reviews
I got sick and tired with wrestling with tires (tubeless ready or not) to fit on TR wheels. I searched and searched for a good set of disc road wheels and found these Shimanos. They are a great bargain for a fairly stiff and not too heavy wheel set. The hubs spin very well! I swear I'm going faster with this new wheel set even though I don't run tubeless anymore. I'd highly recommend this wheelset. I haven't had them long and so cannot speak to durability. My guess is that they will do great.
I bought this wheelset to run in winter with studded tires. It's heavy but can dead true and hubs roll smooth. This is probably the nicest cheapest thru axle wheelset you can get
As a bonus the cassette and disc mounts align perfectly with my DT Swiss 240 hubs so these can be swapped with zero adjustments
These wheels are used as a second set for my winter riding through ice and snow. Thanks to the guidance of the sales person at Bike Tires Direct, I got the right Shimano rear cluster and associated tool to go with these wheels. The quality of this wheelset is very good. I have studded snow tires mounted on them.
I've only got a few rides in so far so can't say much about long-term durability but the Wheelset exceeded my expectations. They feel snappy and roll fast. Thumbs are going up. ??
