Hi All,

CRC have the Race Face Aeffect-R 30mm Boost Wheelset for under 250 quid at the moment.
Has anyone got any experience on this wheelset?
I was going to go Hunt Trail Wide, but these are over 100 quid cheaper now.

Thanks.

Not sure if its the same model but we sent a pair of these back and eventually got a credit for them. Very nice, light but there was a problem with the rear hub that caused it to creak awfully. Google it.

The rims will most likely be the ARC or AR ones, which are nice and light but a bit fragile.

Great for trail riding in the woods, perhaps not the best choice for rock-smashing enduro kind-of stuff.

These came fitted on my focus jam E bike freehub failed at 250 miles which took 6 weeks for bike shop to correct, apparently springs and pawls not available so requires full freehub at £100 thankfully done under warranty ,extra torque of E bike ? or just rubbish make up your own mind .

Ok, thanks for the replies.

I think I'll give them a miss.
