I'm guessing the wheels will hold up, after all its a commuting bike!! I just got my trek soho 1.0. Not as good as this bike but damn its a sweet ride. I went to bike to get my hair cut and rode my older bike because I wasn't going to lock it up. HOLY CRAP!! It was the worst commute ever!! To think I use to be comftorable with that bike. I now hate how the shocks are, I hate how the bike isn't positioned. I am getting back on my commuter tomarrow and I am going to love it!!!!
