Have been looking for this size wheel as it was the one the bike came with, eventually that got damaged, and the only 27.5 wheel available was 2.4, when I really wanted a 2.8...after destroying several 2.4's I seen this one Heaven send!!
300 miles done on The Beast so far, I must say I am well impressed by the quality of the wheelset.
The Beast are lighter and more responsive than stock's wheels that came with the bike.
Great lateral rigidity when pedalling out of the saddle too.
The freehub sounds (loud) like the freehub on much more expensive wheelsets, making few heads turn (which is nice :) ).
The Wheels came with freehub's spacers and spare spokes too: Great job guys!
I would strongly reccomend The Beast (Great name BTW) and Wheelhut!
Can't fault this wheel, smooth rotation, well built, true out of the box - fit my needs perfectly. Will be using wheelhut for all future purchases of wheels for sure
Great so far. Time will tell as far as longevity is concerned, but first impressions are good. Both wheels seem really well built and the components look good for the price. Delivery was quick. Inclusion of rim tape and a couple of spare spokes is handy too.
These are on a bike that I use for a mix of commuting and light trails, replacing a very cheap KX set which did not last very long. Hoping these will hold up a bit better. Initial assumption is that they will, because they seem to be much better quality all round.
The hub sounds like a swarm of angry bees and gets the attention of pedestrians better than any bell could, so nice added bonus there.
Needed to replace my rear Mavic wheel due to pitted cup and cone bearing, so shopped around for a new wheel. Came across wheelhut selling exactly what I was after with sealed bearings and best online price to boot. Ordering was easy and delivery was very quick. Wheel fitted and back on the road again. Recommended.
Needed some gravel wheels for my Specialized Creo with Road Boost 110 x 148 axles. Website as easy to use and the comms with the Co. was great. Wheels arrived very quickly to spec and are perfect high quality wheels and a good price. Highly recommend.
I've ordered from wheelhut in the past and due to upgrading my 2nd bike have ordered again from them as the quality of the wheels is excellent on the first bike, again, they did not disappoint.
The delivery was fast, well protected in the box and the delivery guy made sure I was handed the package and was happy that there was no external damage - superb service all around.
Excellent item speedy delivery thanks 😊
An ideal replacement on my MHT 8.8. No more cup and cone adjustments.
Have to say wasn’t expecting much with the price of the wheels but you definitely get more for your money. I went wider and bigger tyres for my cx bike and they came out saying me weight and wheels run so smooth.
