      Comments about Shimano WH-R500 Wheelset:

      Bought these wheels as replacements on a project bike for touring, along with a new cassette on the rear wheel. These have performed flawlessly. Definitely a bargain for the money. They have been round and spun true from day one. I avoid hitting curbs and the like, so I can't attest to their durability, but I will definitely recommend these to my friends.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
