Review on Vuelta Race Wheel Black 2 Inch by Michael Sharp

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cracked/warped within 6 months

I rode this 40 miles a week, 60% tarmac, 40% gravel roads . I'm 6ft 175lbs and am "light" on my bike and its components. The rear end broke a spoke and deformed badly within 6 months of riding. I find them too easy. I ended up buying a replacement back as I figured the only way it would happen again was if I fixed it. Another issue is that the skewer-to-thru-axle conversion caps fall off every time you remove the wheels (they're only held in place with o-rings).

Pros
  • Rims: Vuelta 23mm tubeless rims, 6066 alloy welded rims, stainless steel valve only: Presta Colors: Black
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
