Adam-Griffin Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I've never actually used any V!z products my self but have heard mixed reviews about the Hubs, the majority of them bad Same with the Rims, I know a few pepole that don't think too highly of them.For that money you can probably get a better specced wheel aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoomaster Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hey dude, I'm running a VIZ 24inch rim on the rear, its all good done some nice big drop's, gaps etc... rim has held up very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Theres absolutely nothing wrong with the viz front hubs. As far as I am aware, there has been ONE rear hub shell break. The people I know that have used viz rims, have been annoyed at them flat spotting relatively easily, but again, this is only the rear rims.That front wheel will be absolutely fine, looks nice too. Only thing you might want to do, as said, is go round putting an extra couple of turns on each spoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun H Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I highly rate V!Z rear rims, find them better (lighter/stronger/in general) than Echo 07 rims...Some people seem to be able to trash them really quick though And I'm by no means a smooth rider... Been running my front V!Z hub for what seems to be years now haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
