For perspective, I'm a bike-tourer with over 100,000 miles and I do all the work on my bike. The wheel came with the cones over-tightened. (I just hope the over-tightening didn't damage the raceways.) While I was adjusting the cones, I checked to see how much grease the wheel builder used with each cone. And I'm so glad I did. They used just enough to keep the bearings in place while building the wheel. In other words, not much. If you purchased this wheel and plan to actually ride your bike, expect these bearings to dry out quick. If you can't work on your bike yourself, take the wheel to a mechanic and ask him to grease the bearings.

The wheel arrived days earlier than amazon suggested in secure packaging with all the components needed. I will use this seller again with no hesitation.

The wheel arrive wrapped in plastic which was moist, the rim is stained and the bearings were dry, not an auspicious start for a new wheel. I services the wheel and it is holding up adequately. It's a little disappointing that its 28 year old elder on the back looks better but, the price was right.The wheel rolls.I'm going to have to the tire off and steel wool the rim seam to reduce the brake thunk, I thought I had it smoothed enough but the brake response tells me otherwise.If you work on and use bikes, none of the issues I describe are insurmountable but, when you buy something new, none of the things I describe are expected.

This wheel is darn good. The bearing's a little grainy but that's to be expected at this price point. I'd recommend this for someone who only does leisure riding every now and again. That's why I bought it and I'm pleased as punch. The five-star rating is meant to denote that this product is as good as it should be for this price, not that it would compete with a several-hundred-dollar wheel. I recommend it for its intended use.

I bought this to replace a wheel that was wildly out of true. The replacement was simple and I've been using it for almost a year now and I've been very happy with it, no problems so far. I have a mountain-bike style hybrid that I ride 2 miles to and from work every day, the path is littered with nasty potholes (though I don't go offroad at all on it) and this wheel has held up just fine.

I cycle around the neighborhood twice daily on asphalt roads. An accident mangled my front wheel.Shopping at my local bike stores for a replacement wheel for my Huffy bicycle I decided that the wheels were too expensive for my modest needs - these may well have been worth the price for a serious bike. I came across this wheel on Amazon. It arrived within a week. Thjere were no instructions on how to assemble the quick release mechanism so I brought it to a bike shop.It took the owner literally minutes to assemble.I installed the wheel on my bike and have been biking without incident for about a month now.I would recommend this wheel as a low cost replacement for recreational cycling. I don't know if it would withstand vigorous use on dirt or stone paths.
