As title, anybody using them?. Any issues etc?.
Nope good solid wheel, reasonable weight stiff enough and I'm a big chap too.
Only really reason I changed them was I got a unmissable deal on some hope enduro wheels from my lbs and I'm a serial frame m
I've got mine sat here if you want a cheep set in good condition.
Bats.
decent wheels, way lighter than the stock wheels that came on my troy, they feel stiff enough, not super wide, but my 2.3 minions are fine on them tubeless and mid 20's PSI.
cheap at RCZ, I'm sure there is a discount code as well, they have a code for everything

Cheaper at crc too
Got a set with my bird zero. Without weighing them, they are lighter than my old wheels and less twangy too. (Old wheels were OEM on a £400 Saracen mantra).
The only concern I have is the "proprietary bearings". I've not had to touch them yet, but that would put me off of I was buying them separately.
The bearings fitted at the factory might be proprietary in some way, but they are a standard size so easily replaced.
I have a set which came on my zesty. Still run true after a year's mixed riding. The rims are on the narrow side compared fo some of the alternatives, but I have 2.35 Hans Dampfs on them and the tyre profile is fine. Rear hub is quiet too, which is wired after being on hope hubs for so long.
rear hub on mine is not quiet, it makes nice little ticky sounds, not loud like some other hubs, but a low volume tick tick tick....
I have a set 200 quid brand new with a set of nibble nics on
