Mr Wiley Brilliant wheels, easy to setup tubeless and a good balance between light weight and strong. Have ordered the set and the rear hub is satisfyingly noisy. Great service from Merlin as always
Ben Flawless wheels and came in 2 days! So far the enduro wheels have held up very well and the price is unbeatable considering the quality. Highly highly recommend.
Anne Great quality wheels. Fit and forget as you won't need to replace these in a hurry.
Mr Paradowski Amazing wheel set for the money, get what you expect, high quality build and very solid, great wheels and can't forget about the hub sound.
Mr Brotzman So far I love these. Threw some Stans no tubes tape on, valve stem and sealant and have a very nice tubeless setup. The sound of the rear hub gets everyones attention when approaching.
Mr Loo Great wheels for the money. Ran it the first day with tubes and then converted to tubeless. What a difference. Wheels are true out of the box and spins forever, also makes a great sound.
Mark trenberth Awesome wheels. 2 rides in and love them. Merlin cycles were great to deal with. Will be trading again for sure.
Mr smith A solid pre built wheel for a great price. Comes with QR and 15mm through end caps, spare spokes and rim tape. Adding tubeless tape and valves is easy and tyres mount solidly without any struggle.
FAUSTO Great. Solidly built wheels. Ordered the XC model after using the Enduro set for a few months. They come with a couple extra spokes and the thru axle conversion bits.
K M Great price for great wheels. Been using them for a few months now and a few hundred miles, holding up great.
Royal Got the 35's for my wife's bike. They look great and spin nicely and have that wonderful Hope sound (they break in and get noisier after the first ride). It doesn't say in the description but the 15mm TA and 142/12 TA conversion kits do come with the wheels.
SLC 35W version - Wheels arrived quickly for free international postage! I have rim taped them with clear gorilla tape and sealed super easily with a normal floor pump. 1st ride out tried 20psi per wheel and had pretty good grip and rolling. Will drop a few psi over the next few rides. So far I am very happy with the wheels and SUPER happy with the price! Hope Pro4 based wheelset for $360 shipped.
stark Very happy with this wheel. Weight as advertised, and no issue going tubeless. Bought the rear as well.
Mr Kirk I ordered the Hope rear boost Pro 4 wheel for my Plus size bike. This wheel is strong and true. I am really pleased with it's performance. At over 220lbs this wheel handles steep, fast, rocky conditions and jumps amazingly well. I went tubeless with this and besides having a great internal width for the plus size tires, the wheel and tire seated/matched perfectly and I have had no air leaks as the same pressure is holding in the tire for almost 3 weeks now. The Pro 4 hub free wheel isn't as loud as I had hoped but it makes a great sound. Due to this great experience, I will be buying Hope Hoops for my next wheel needs.
Mr jones Great wheels, reliable. We have 4 sets, never let me down. Build 100%. Great quick service again from Merlin.
Mr Houston Seems a good choice so far, lighter than my previous wheels and stay true after a fair bit of abuse
Mrs Jorge Highest quality wheeset at a reasonable price!
So far so good! They appear very strong and hope hubs are simply AMAZING!
Sound is AMAZING!!!!!
Nelli Great wheels bought to replace standard wheels on an Saracen Mantra Pro hard tail. A bit hard to put on my performance Nobby Nic on the front (Ok very hard) and am running with tubes initially, but expect to go tubeless soon. My TLE Rocket Ron went on easy on the rear. They run waaaay smoother than a cup and cone hub and with stainless bearings are going to be longer lived...I hope! Look great, a lot lighter and rear hub sounds great too!
Mr Ford Have used Hope hubs and wheels for a number of years, had no faults and very easy to service.
Ryan Received these wheels and mounted up my nobby nics with tubes with no issues. The anodized finish on these are second to none and that Hope click is amazing. You know these are engaged. Have only put a few km on these so far but the width makes for a terrific tire profile. I plan on going tubeless in the future so I will report back with those details as well as more info on how the wheelset is performing.
Mr christie Why would you want to buy any other wheelset.? In the short time I've had these wheels every ride has been a wet one. As a check of their quality I've removed the freehub to see how good the seals perform? Found the ratchets well greased and not a hint of any ingress of dirt or water to any of the bearings.
I have had to take the wheels to the LBS though in order to true or tighten the odd spoke but taking into account that they are fitted to a hardtail and they've gone over more than a few decent drops / rock gardens. I don't mind this as even the best wheels often need their spokes tensioned after the first ride. I taped the rims and run tubeless without any problems. Can't say that I'm that good a rider that I could say these wheels are solid or have no flex, but what I can say is that the 23mm width gives me heaps of grip and trust in the bike. If you want a bomb proof wheel that spares and servicing will never be a problem then look no further!
Mr christie Quite simply. Why would you buy anything else? Okay these wheels may not be the lightest but what they are is reliable and quality at a price that is fantastic value.
The wheels come with a rim tape, but if you are going tubeless then you'll need to supply your own. Once done my tyres sealed without any problems. I've gone from a 19 mm internal width to these 23 mm width. The difference in grip and volume of tyre is very noticeable (I ride a hardtail). Would recommend these wheels to anyone.
