Why do I need it?
You want to put a nice set of wheels on your mountain bike and leave them on, no matter what type of riding you are doing. Weight is a priority, but not having a wheel taco on you in the middle of the woods is a bigger priority! You want the ability to run a variety of tire sizes, and of course set it up tubeless for the best puncture protection and handling. Focus more on having fun, not worry about your wheels.
"I worry about my kids. I don't want to worry about my wheels. I've been riding these wheels for more than six months and have put them through the toughest terrain I've ever willingly ridden. They've spent more time in the air than any other wheels I've ever ridden. During that time, I've asked myself repeatedly if this set of wheels lacks anything I want from a wheelset."
