Mountain Biking - Pros/Cons of Shimano WH-M575 wheelset

Planning on getting them.

The only weaknesses i've found for them are that they are abit heavy.

maybe just maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe you could check http://www.mtbreview.com/reviews/Wheelset/product_78778.shtml out and see what people that have the shimano wheelset have to say

I've got those on my MTB , had em about 6 weeks now, these are the ones that you can use either vee brakes or discs , and they are great, no problems with them going out of true and they look very cool aswell and very strong . :thumbup:

God help you if you ding the rim though. You can't exactly go to your local shop and have them pull a new rim off the shelf. I don't know what you're paying but for about $500 you should be able to have your local shop order you a pre-built set of wheels from Chris King. The rim brake ones are essentially the old Bontrager Race Lites and the disc wheels are Race Disks with 32h King hubs instead of the crappy Formula 28h ones. King hubs are the single best investment I have made for any of my bikes. (I have 3 sets) You will not be disappointed.

Don't bother me none If I wreck a rim , I work in a bike shop , and have already asked shimano about parts availability.. No probs they said rims, spokes , hubs .. they carry the spares ..:D

parts or no parts, I'll take the King stuff every time. To each their own.

500USD is a litle bit to expensive.


First I need to find someplace in Ontario that will get them cheaper than my local bike shop.

my LBS want 600.00CDN for one 6inch hayes disk:mad:
I forgot the exact price for the wheelset. was over 900CDN which im not going to pay. They wont price match either:(
