Review on 🚲 WTB ST i25 Tubeless Ready Mountain Bike Bicycle Wheelset with Novatec Sealed Hubs - Compatible with 8 to 11 Speed Shimano Sram - Quick Release Front and Rear - 29" (Includes Tires) by Mike Ken

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Tubeless ready out of the box.

Would like to give 4 1/2 stars Good at first Wheels are quite round out of the box. There's a bit of wobble up front, but not enough to worry me. They rotate freely, without noise and friction. The tires that come with it seem good, but I won't be using them for now. I received the wheels as a 700c road kit for my 650b bike setup. I save them for every single track I want to make. I didn't buy these rims for tires. Poorly. They come with tubeless tape already, which is good, but I'm worried it might not hold air. It only overlaps about an inch (I make it at least 3 inches) and peels off a bit. It probably doesn't matter much, but enough that they don't get 5 stars. While I run tubing in it until the panarakers I put on top start to hold their shape. They'll likely go tubeless next week and post an update if they don't hold the air.
