Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The description of this product did not clearly indicate that it was a 1-1/4" rim. The photo of the wheel looked as if it was a 1" wide rim, so I was disappointed when I opened the box. However, it is a good-quality wheel and the packaging said it was built in the U.S., although the components are doubtless made elsewhere. The hub was initially sticky and required re-greasing. Why someone would skimp on grease when packing a hub, I don't know. The cones on the hub were surprisingly easy to adjust. So far (one week) it's been a good city commuting wheel and I think I'd recommend it for touring. We'll see how well it holds up. Other 27" X 1-1/4" wheels of the same specs are available for ~$25. I think this one is a grade better than those, but don't know for sure. It feels really solid and is pretty light for such a big rim. The hub takes an old-style threaded freewheel, which is fine if that's what you want (they're harder to get off than a cassette, but if you already own a freewheel, it'll save you $20).
