Velomax wheels folding in.
I saw a few weeks ago, someone saying they have started seeing Velomax
wheels that arn't durable enough. Which models, if this is true? Or anyone, that has seen that they are too light in their construction. |

None more than 7 months old. -Wheels was so wacked it could not be trued with a new spoke -Velomax doesn't warranty spokes or rims(what TF???). That's right, Send it to them and in 3-5 weeks, they will rebuild it for about $90, even if the spoke broke JRA... So, once again, an overly hyped wheel that in actual use doesn't do well, is expensive and uses unique to that wheel components...WHEN oh when will the cycling public learn? Not soon, I suspect. -- |

Another 'phenomenom' I am seeing-Wheels advertised as being say 1400 grams..pretty dern light, then upon weighing the rear, see it's 900 grams or so(same as OpenPro, DA/Record type weight)...how do they do it? Really light front wheel with a micro light front hub with teeny-tiny bearings, really thin spokes, really light rim. Not much reliability there and nce again, 'marketing' wins out over knowledge, experience, common sense. |

The more wheels change, the more they stay the same. |
