Can they be trusted to log in the long miles? I used to do 60 mile rides with lots of climbing on a 2x10 CAAD couple years ago. Can I pull the same kind mileage without worring about the freehub breaking or anything like that?
I bought Sun rims CR18 27" Inch Wheelset with freewheel hubs from Velomine in 2014. They have about 2,500 miles on them and had to true them twice over the last 9 years. So far so good.
