bontagers come thru
 

Lots of negative comments on bontragers lately. I ride 04 race lites. 220 lbs. I don't know how they compare to race x and racexx lites but mine haven't been a problem. Last night we are pace lining at 24 miles per hour when I hit a pot hole that swollows the front wheel. I honest to god heard an explosion. Thought the carbon fiber blew up in some way. Both water bottles instantly ejected. Anyway, I had pumped the front tire up to 140lbs before the ride. No pinch flat, no broken spokes, wheel or bike. Could not believe the unit would take such a hit with no damage.

Most of the complaints seem to be the eyelets on the rim cracking... and spokes breaking.

I've had 3 sets of Bontys and a set of Rolfs. I've never had a durability issue with any of them.

Mine are holding up very well. Putting lots of miles on them(Race Lites). Never out of true!
