The wheels on my Monocog 29er have not been too good. They haven't broken any spokes yet, but don't stay true. I have had a new rear wheel built up, but still running the original front. I had to switch to a disk brake up front when I added the suspension fork, so it doesn't matter if the rim is true now.
The hubs aren't anything special and required locktite to keep from loosening up, and I have broken the front axle and skewer. I am a lightweight by clyde standards and just use it for XC trails.
