Don't get me wrong, I'd say that 95% of the people who've laced them up would say that they are fine rims. However, it's those 5% that have me worried. I've juggled with products like that in the past and come up short and I tend to keep my gear for a very long time, so I'd like that piece of mind that I won't be replacing these 2 years down the road.
