I've had mine on my bike for just a few months...I've got seven bikes, so no wheelset gets excessive use.<br /><br />A little background...I've been a serious rider for 30 years who logs between 6-8,000 miles a year. I weigh about 85 kg. I've worn out rims usually long before I've broken anything. But after 500 moles or so I've broken a spoke. Folks, I've broken two spokes in my riding career. <br /><br />These wheels are not built for the long haul, especially for heavier riders. I'm replacing these ASAP. Shit product IMHO.

I gave away these wheels for half the price to get rid of them, I couldn't trust my rides on them anymore.SV1QZShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10465257402475358606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34175142808139841.post-12543019810220730492015-04-22T10:21:12.993+03:002015-04-22T10:21:12.993+03:00This is exactly my experience and I am well below ...This is exactly my experience and I am well below 80kg.
