          Comments about Altus RM40 / Alex X101 700c Rear Wheel:

          Bought this for my commuter. Can't beat the value... Wheel arrived true, Spins up nicely and feels solid on short descents (only have 300 miles on it, so time will tell). Had a heck of a time getting the tire to mount on the wheel though. The bead kept hooking on the brake wear indicator groove. Ended up spraying windex between the tire bead & rim, adding 100psi air, and leaving it in the garage overnight (Bead popped into place during the night.) No issues since then...

              Comments about Altus RM40 / Alex X101 700c Rear Wheel:

              Within one year of casual commuter use seven spokes broke off (near the root, where they attach to hub). All my other bicycles never broke spokes during many years of use. This wheel uses bad spokes.

                Comments about Altus RM40 / Alex X101 700c Rear Wheel:

                I didn't expect that much, but I purchased this and the matching front wheel for my commuter bike. Both wheels arrived true and well tensioned. I have put a few hundred miles on them and they remain true. Braking improved as well over my existing wheel set. I was pleasantly surprised by this purchase. Note, they do not have stainless steel spokes.
