Pros: Bombroof aluminium rims built up on quality hubs and with brass nipples. They are built to last and take a beating.

Cons: Strength and durability does come at a cost. These are not the lightest wheels out there so weight weenies might want to look elsewhere. Loud hubs aren’t for everyone. If you do find that they are too loud you can always pack some extra grease into the freehub to quiet things down a bit.
