Quality parts, build OK

I've purchased two different Handspun wheels and they both required further trueing by a mechanic. One had a very noticeable wobble out of the box. The quality of the parts has always been as advertised. I just think their actual build process needs a little bit more attention to detail.

Good value with a few issues

Good training wheel, wheel came out of box true but after first ride way out with several loose spokes. After an adjustment and some locktite the wheelset has rolled true and trouble free. On another note, they are very difficult to mount tires on, mounting tires without tools is almost impossible. For the money, a great deal!

Thank you for your feedback.

A quality item at a VERY good price!

I needed another Shimano 910 speed rear wheel to replace one that was lost. Was browsing the site looking for any Shimano FH deals and spotted this complete wheel. Wonderful! Just what I was going to have to build up, but here it was all set to go, and at a price that was less than the sum of the parts! It was checked on the truing stand upon arrival and was spot on! How can you not like that? Got a few hundred miles and it's still rock solid. Makes me sad that I didn't buy the front wheel that was on sale at the same time...

Thank you for your feedback.

Great value and durability for a heavier rider!

This wheel arrived perfectly true out of the box. I wanted to get a durable 32 spoke wheel for my cross bike and that's what I got. Would recommend this product for touringtraining as well for road riding.
