One of my friend has some Vuelta freeride rims on his S.C. Heckler and has had no problems so far. He claims his brother has a set that he rides way harder and had just as good of luck. That's about the most I can tell except that the yellow color looks pretty darned awesome. Oh yeah, I've tried the aforementioned Heckler, and the liked the setup. They seem no worse for wear after I did a sloppy drop that resulted in a pinch flat. I guess that's the limit of my experience though.
