Well, after receiving the new wheels, I decided to use them on my Roam. They're pretty nice wheels, at least relative to what I've had in the past. They're fully eyelet'ed and the hubs have cartridge bearings. They're WTB SX19 rims on Novatec hubs...pretty "basic" original equipment on more mid-level bikes from what I understand. I decided to use these on the Roam, the bike I ride the most of my two main bikes. So I swapped the Vittoria Mezcals over to these wheels and I'll use the tires that came with these on my MTB's wheels (they're Continental X-King 2.2s). After drilling these out for Schrader valves, I mounted the tires with new tubes and I couldn't be happier with them. They spin buttery smooth and are pretty danged true. I may adjust a few spots here or there after riding them for 10 or 20 miles.
