We have put these on a lot of bikes this year as an OEM upgrade, and honestly for under $500 they are our favorite. We stock and sell DT Swiss, Reynolds, FSA, Hunt and Easton at our gravel shop by the way but in this price range they are our favorite. They do not have a cult following or cool decals, but they DO PERFORM! And when they do need servicing all you need is bit of grease and cone wrenches, no special bearings to order or finicky adjustment procedures.
