They look cool, but if you're going to be abusive to your parts, then repairing dinged or snapped spokes is going to be an issue especially if riding out of town, and removing busted thread heads from hubs is going to be an issue too (had to do the same to a velomax hub).
Plus, why do they make a freeride wheelset with a QR?
Go look at their site. They come with some spare spokes; large machined alu pieces. Buy a few more while you're at it. Shouldn't be an issue. Some of the front and rear hubs are convertable between QR and 20mm or thorough axle. (i've read rumors they are working on a 24mm version for Maverick forks) The stuff I've been hearing about these guys is very positive so far. The few folks who've had any issues have been very quickly and easily taken care of by the company, at least from the anecdotal evidence online so far.

And it was Pulstar, btw.

And no, I don't own any of them, nor do I plan to buy any.
