Comments about WTB Speed Disc XC Wheel - Rear:

So far, I have had no problems with this wheel. It was a replacement for the original wheel, which was no longer "free wheeling". To be fair, I'm about 250lbs. and I'm tough on my equipment. Hopefully, this one will hold up for a while.

Service and delivery comments:

The wheel came in sooner than expected, and the staff in West Hartford got in right on the same day. Great service and delivery!!!!

Comments about WTB Speed Disc XC Wheel - Rear:

I rode these for about 50 weeks last year on pothole-ridden city streets, poorly-maintained crushed gravel trails, and (legal) forest preserve trails.

As with all wheelsets, the hubs needed slight adjustments out-of-the-box. Unlike most, they were incredibly well trued with good spoke tension. Because most manufacturers use cheap grease, I usually re-pack the bearings, too. However, I was delighted to discover that these hubs were packed in Phil Wood grease and needed no modification.

On the road and trail, these hoops are solid and inspire confidence. They roll fast and smooth, can take fairly big hits, and lock onto the tire beads like a pitbull on a porterhouse steak. Even overinflated slicks (110 psi) refused to pop off.

Yeah, they are a bit heavy, but at this price-point, nobody is lighter. I had heard that early production models had spoke problems, but 3500 miles under my 185# butt hasn't seemed to be a problem.

If you're a gram-counter, must have the absolutely finest gear, or a serious xc racer, these aren't for you. However as commuting/training/goofing-around wheels, the Speed Discs are great.

Comments about WTB Speed Disc XC Wheel - Rear:

This product came with over tightened hub screws which created unwanted resistance in the barrings. But that was easy to fix. What made me upset was the freewheel body which has allot of inner resistance and instead of clicking it pulls the chain down along with it. I tried to change the freewheel body from my old shimano hub but the WTB inside hardware is different. All I am hoping for is that it will get better with more miles I put on it.
