Is this a decent wheelset?
I've been looking for a new wheelset (SS MTB) and came across this:

Does it sound like a decent wheelset for the price?

It looks OK. Kind of curious about that panther hub though.
If I were you though, I'd just look for a decent freehub wheelset and single it. It'd save you some weight and you'd have a better chance of selling it later on down the line if you decide to upgrade.

That panther hub is definitely suspect.
If you are fine with rim brakes, I'd just get a normal MTB wheelset and use spacers and a single cog. You'll get a much less sketchy wheelset for a much better price.

You'd be much better off going with something like this craigslist find and putting a single cog and some pvc spacers back there.

I was kinda wondering about that rear hub and you guys confirmed my suspicion. Thanks for the input!
