Comments about Wilderness Trail Bikes Dual Duty FR Wheel - Rear:

I purchased the WTB rear wheel with the matching front wheel when I bent one of my stock wheels. The rim on this wheel is slightly wider than my stock rim, but that will allow wider tires to fit better. The hubs are WTB brand and accepted the disc rotors from my other wheels. The rims seemed to hook the tire bead better than my stock rims.

Comments about Wilderness Trail Bikes Dual Duty FR Wheel - Rear:

I've been needing to upgrade my rims for some time now and the WTB wheelset was an ideal choice for the price. They are a bit heavier than I wanted to go with but with a 32 spoke wheel replacing a 24 spoke wheel that is expected. The rear hub has a louder click than my previous set, but I'll get over it. These wheels are strong and true and they spin forever. I look foreward to many miles on them.

Comments about Wilderness Trail Bikes Dual Duty FR Wheel - Rear:

I acquired the front and the rear as a second set for trail-use only, with my stockers being for commuting. They suit my trail needs in every department except weight. They seem to do well in the AZ rock gardens though. Rims are tough and stiff. They ran really true out of the box and haven't given me any problems after several months. The hub is the only part I might be concerned about. I have no idea what the internals are capable of.

The rims grip the tire bead ferociously. My Velociraptors took me hours to mount 'cos I couldn't get the last bit of bead over the "beadlock" ridge on the inside of the rim. I tried inflating, deflating, prying, pulling, squeezing, pounding, bouncing, and in the end I really don't know how they got on.
