THESE WHEELS CERTAINLY don't look like some of the cheapest on test, and the adjustable-preload bearings are some of the smoothest and longest lived at any price.
The straight-pull
spokes are securely anchored but the narrow rims make tyres over 2,35in feel
unstable when cornering hard and there's noticeable flex when trying to fight
through rock gardens or rutted corners. Doubled up driveside spokes keep the
rear wheel positive under power though, and the steel freehub body is
super-tough.
The Red Powers work OK
if you add a tubeless kit, and 15mm and 142x12mm adaptors are included, making
them great value if you're after a smooth rolling and reliable wheelset and
don't need SRAM 11-speed compatibility.
