I have a few rides on these, and I've spent more time trying to maintain them than I've actually ridden them. They are always out of true and balance because the spokes need to stretch and get settled in. For as much as high-end wheels like this cost now, you should really come up with a way to pre-stretch the spokes, or at least reference more spoke tension tools than the Park TM-1. I have two spoke tension tools, and I'm not going to buy a third for a single set of wheels. Also, the rear hub is not that great. With the back wheel constantly out of balance, the sound fluctuates and highlights how loose the spokes are getting, and the hook flanges nearly sit under the brake calipers on my frame (boost spacing). The first ride on these, all of the brake side spokes were hanging loose because I didn't realize they were catching the caliper every time they swung by it. These are a cool idea, but execution is lacking for me at least. I wish I had spent my money on something else.

Well they look AWESOME! They came in early and cant wait to compare to old wheels. Should be fun.

Wheels are great feel super light and flickable. I went from aluminum wheels with tubes to the berds tubeless even though there on a e-bike I feel the difference and they change direction with ease and seem to absorb roots and rocks a little bit better. The only thing I’m not a huge fan of is the center lock rotors they work fine but 6 bolt has so many more choices and I don’t know why one wheel came with a black valve and one with a silver one?

So far perfect...had a little issue with the CenterLock disc and wheel magnets, but over came that.
Ride impression is stiffer but not harsh at all..get a lot of lookers too

I was not planning on purchasing these wheels as I didn't think a rider at my level would really appreciate them. Long story short I found myself in need of a wheelset and living close to Berd they were the only folks who could get me back on my bike quickly. The purchase process was great, the staff was responsive and answered all my questions and I had new wheels on my bike in a couple of days. As for the wheels they are amazing, and it turns out I can very much appreciate what they do for ride quality. Dealing with Berd =A++. Wheels= A++
P.S. I'm not dialed into the MTB tech world and the only reason I knew to call Berd was from Syd and Mackey.
