    That's a great deal for a set of wheels with DT350 hubs and a lifetime warranty. The weight isn't bad either.

    The SL's are intriguing.....just wish they were available in 32h.

    General Warrany Policy
    • Lifetime warranty for original owner
    • Crash replacement rim or wheel cost at 50% of retail cost
    • Ship out complete wheels as first option, rims and service credit as second option

    Detail on Issues
    • Dented rim, no paint chipping, holding air: crash replacement
    • Dented rim, paint chipping, holding or not holding air: warranty
    • Dented rim, not holding air: warranty
    • Seam separation: warranty
    • Crack at spoke hole: warranty

    Basically, if the rim becomes dented enough to prevent a tubeless tire from holding air, Reserve will replace it free of charge. It's tough to beat those terms, especially considering that we're talking about a $699 wheelset here.

    Reading above

    Is that a Santa Cruz brand of wheels?

    Being a Clydesdale, I would prefer a 32h like Jkilla (who is not a Clydesdale but a breaker of all things)

    Something to keep in mind for a potential future .

    Yes... And no. Santa Cru, errr I mean, Pon Holdings split the Reserve name off into its own business entity a few years ago.

    Good point…

    DT and Stan’s both have defined weight limits for their wheel sets. Reserve does not… That seems to carry over to their alloy wheels. #ClydeLove

    Seems like a really good deal. Basically good hubs, spokes, and valves with some hoops coming in for free.

    I'd trash the wheels after a few months more than likely, but I'd keep the rest :Roflmao

    Ok, on a second less thrashy bikes they would likely be more than fine :thumbsup:
