Comments about Deore / Sun CR18 8/9-Speed 700c Rear Wheel:

I knew when I ordered these it would be a chance as pre-made wheels are always a risk. These are not put together well. The wheel was out of true, out of round, and the tension was light. I would not recommend to anyone as it would need frequent truing, and the risk of spoke breakage would be high.

The Sun CR-18 is a quality rim, and this wheel's shabby construction undermines it's robustness.

One could argue for the price you get what you pay for, but if the wheel requires that much work to be proper, why bother selling it?

I expect more from REI.

Comments about Deore / Sun CR18 8/9-Speed 700c Rear Wheel:

I agree with Erth's assessment of this wheel. Bought wheel trued and tensioned, within the first 6 miles a spoke broke. Took it back to REI, they replaced the spke and checked tension and true. this happened 3 consecutive days until the guys at the shop had enough of me and rebuilt the wheel with better spokes. Only one issue since was a spoke that came loose.

Service and delivery comments:

REI has the best service!
