LJ,
I bought them on the fact that they say they are tough enough for everyday wheels.
They even have a guy on their web site saying he's got 6000+ miles on a set of them with no problems.
I've got around 3000 miles on the rear wheel before it suffered from a bad rear bearing. Granted that was not 100% their fault...
But now I've noticed that at 5000miles the front wheel is feeling more loose than it should. The inside of the hub is beginning to fail at the flanges holding up the bearings.
What's more is I had two sets of these wheels and I switched to the other rear while waiting for the first rear to be repaired. Not the second rear is starting to show the same signs of loosness as the original front wheel!
Yikes!
I am really happy with the handling and lightness of these wheels. I just hope that I'm only having a bad run on the set(s) I bought and hope that after getting them fixed that I won't have a problem!
