Mike Wrote:the wheels are made be xero and are without a doubt the weakest part of the bike. i'll likely break them in due time though, so no biggy there.My Trek 8000 had weak looking paired spoke wheels that I figured I would bend up in 2 rides. Much to my surprise, those things have been bombproof. I cant tell you how many hard, rocky rides with dropoff and slams those wheels took (you know what the riding is like in the mts), with my 200lb ass riding and arent a bit out of true. The paired design looks weak but there must be something about it that makes it inherently stronger.
