If you’re looking for a lightweight and affordable pair of wheels for your DH or freeride rig, make sure to check out Spank’s Spike Race28 wheelset, which were recently highlighted in a best-of 2013 blog on VitalMTB.
From Vital MTB’s “Ten Products That Are Hard To Beat”
“Just a few short years ago, a sub-2,000 gram wheelset would not have been up to the rigors of downhill or freeriding. Recently, fancy materials and improved machining have led to the emergence of several such options, but none that combine very high levels of performance with incredible value for money in the way the Spank Spike Race28 wheels do. These hoops have proven themselves at the DH World Cup as well as at Rampage, and they can be yours for less than $500. Strong, light, and cheap – we no longer have to choose just two.”
