REI Members get back an estimated $ 12.90 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Wilderness Trail Bikes 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.
