The only problem with this order was that I ordered the wrong type of wheel. However, it looked as advertised, reasonable price, and the company didn't give me a single problem about returning it even though it was my mistake. Between returning it and getting my refund I think it was a week, give or take a day or 2. I'll order from them in the future for sure, customer service is on point.

I use this rim in a non-conventional manner.I bought a bicycle-engine kit and it requires that a large gear be mounted onto the rear bicycle rim. The original rim finally could not take the stress as I worked through the 'break-in' process. This rim has worked perfectly. Because of the nature of the use that I have decided to apply it, I understand that the rim will not last as long as a normal bicycle rim (like maybe a year), but I would definitely purchase my next rim from this seller. The bike works perfectly, now, and I would recommend this seller to potential buyers.

The delivery of the rim was excellent. My only issue was the rim was not perfectly true. I had to make some minor adjustments to the spokes to minimize wobble. However, would order it again if I needed another one.

Dont buy this wheel unless your only using your bike on the flat and know your not going to go off a curb or ride any trails.I bought this wheel simply because of the price and figured if something went after about 6 months or so, i could replace it with another for less than a better wheel. but i ended up bending this wheel within 3 days simply from going off a few curbs on my daily commute. after going to my bike shop they told me, most wheels with a screw on free wheel really arnt made strong enough and especially ones sold as cheap as this.I just ordered a WTB wheel also sold by Niagara cycles for around $50 and a Sram cassette for $15. So bottom line, invest in a better wheel and a cassette rather then waisting your money and time with this.

First of all this wheel is cheap. Sure, no kidding it's cheap -what do you expect for this price? It's destined as a set of wheels for my home-made studded ice tires so I didn't want to spend a bunch on extra wheels for my winter snowtires project. The front wheel for this project came out of the junk pile. I couldn't find a rear wheel laying around so I figured I'd give this cheap one a try for the rear.This wheel is cheap, but not only does it use a very cheap steel rim and cheesy hub it is also very poorly built.This one came with the spokes not seated properly and round/runout barely tolerable. The bearing cones were set so tight that the axle could BARELY be spun by hand out of the box. The cone locknuts were so darn tight that I took half the life off of my favorite cone wrench trying to get it off. It must have been torqued to over 100ft-lbs! My poor favorite 15mm bench cone wrench is no longer what it used to be after this project :(It gets better. The ticket on the rim claims that this was the same 26x1.75 Steel C.P Rim w/ Steel 5/6 hub I ordered -but when I measured the dropout/overlocknut spacing was set at 135mm!Um, FAIL!I don't know about you but I'm a fairly experienced home mechanic and when I hear 5/6 speed freewheel hub I think of 126mm-spaced dropouts or maybe even 120mm. A 135mm overlocknut wheel setup on a freewheel hub is for 7/8/9 speed bikes -a rare chicken indeed. 135mm is totally WRONG. If someone else on here can tell me how a wheel marked 5/6speed should be 135mm overlocknut then maybe I need to quit working on bikes and hire a pro from now on .I noticed that there was a big orange sticker on one of the spokes. Maybe this was a factory reject that somehow found its way into the ship pile?I had to re-space this wheel's overlocknut measurement to 126mm and re-dish the rim to match. Not only was the overlocknut size wrong but it was also even dished wrong for a 135mm spacing as delivered and not centered. I don't know what the hack the guy who built this clod of a wheel was doing, but it just might have been his first day on the job (or maybe his last). Luckily the wheel was already halfway dished over to where it should be for 126mm and I had enough fudge in the nipples to allow me to move it the rest of the way over to center on the 126mm overlocknut measurement. This leads me to believe that the right parts were sourced right and wheelbuilder just went astray in building it.Was this wheel worth the trouble for the price? Frak no! But once I had it in my hands it was easier to fix it than to complain and send it back.I don't blame Niagra Cycle one bit as they are just shipping what Wheelmaster sends them. I didn't even call to complain because I didn't want to mess around sending a cheapo wheel back costing more in shipping than this cut-rate wheel is worth. It was easier just to fix it and move on. Lesson learned.But if you don't know how to build a wheel in the first place and space the over-locknut correctly and dish it to center then you should stay away from wheelmaster wheels! I learned my lesson here. From now on I'm going to buy something made in Tiawan the correct way rather than USA-made junk built by some stoner kid on his first (or last) day at the job. Wheelmaster needs to start doing better quality control and marking their products with more information like what the overlocknut spacing is so ordinary mortals can buy it without fear of getting the wrong thing. Apparently even Wheelmaster doesn't know what the correct overlocknut size should be on their wheels...I put more work into this "new" wheel than I did in the old used junkpile rim I had scavenged off of an old decrepit department-store bike (which BTW was a nicer wheel even used and beat up than this new Wheelmaster unit was)
