100mm hub spacing, 36 stainless steel spokes makes this wheel a great deal. I checked tension on the spokes, only had to adjust a few, adjusted cones and the wheel is trued and rolling.

I've ridden 2 sets of these tires, I think they are great compared to the Zaffiros that my bike came with. They are way lighter and roll more smoothly. I have had a few flats from commuting 25+ miles on uneven pavement but these are lightweight 23mm tires, not designed for tough commutes. So, unless you need a burly tire I would recommend these.

Ordered these tires for a race I had coming up. Took them out to ride for the first time and within 25 miles a piece of glass cut through the tire like butter. It split the tire wide open. I might be able to get a few more miles out of the tire with a dollar bill fix, but I'm not going to risk it in a race, which is why I purchased them in the first place. Oh well. Don't let anyone trick you into thinking expensive high performance bike equipment is durable.

Although the product description says "Road tubeless", these are not tubeless. There are two versions of the Atom Comp, one is tubeless and the other is not. I was disappointed to find that these were not tubeless after paying expedited shipping in order to get them before a scheduled ride.

Azonic Momentum Axle (3/8- Inch, 12- mm x 135- mm) Reviews

Allows a 135x12 wheel to work in a standard QR Frame. This wasn't 100% clear from the description or other reviewers comments before I bought it, so clarifying for anyone else out there looking for a way to use a 135 x 12 wheel in and older standard QR Frame.

Installation was not too complicated I would suggest using spacers between nuts and frame nuts really dig in to frame if you don't. The thru axle went in perfect fit and the feel of my bike is a lot better. bike feels stiffer and I feel like there is more power transfer to rear wheel when pedaling. I definitely feel much more traction going through grass and other off road trails. The down side is the double bolt design which can make fixing a flat on a trail harder then quick release skewer and Axle is a little on heavy side 108g. I just ordered a sun ringle conversion axle to try it out since it is lighter 56g and you can use a skewer with it but I am not sure if it will be as stiff as the azonic momentum which is pretty solid. Definitely rear thru axle is a great upgrade.

UPDATE REVIEW

I have now tested the azonic momentum axle (chromoly) vs sun ringle thru axle (aluminum) here is what i found sun ringle is lighter aluminum looks better and is easier to install and remove ........but for me the winner is Azonic momentum for some reason the chromoly thru axle feels like it transfers power from tire to road more efficiently feels like bike handles and responds better and picks up speed faster I thought the difference in feel was just a mistake so i tested one after the other on short rides and azonic was the clear winner in performance sun ringle wins in looks and ease of install and removal but i think the stiffer aluminum axle decreases power transfer since it is very stiff the azonic axles chromoly build has more flex and it just performs better but it is heavier by 50 grams. will be using Azonic axle for fun factor and performance.

I ordered this to stiffen up the rear of my burly AM SC Heckler build and because I couldn't seem to get the qr tight enough to really trust on some of the more gnarlier trails. One time the qr even came all the way out of the dropouts.

I've been riding this axle for about a month now and it's given me more confidence on the bike and made the rear feel much less flex-y.

I previously resisted converting from qr because of the convenience factor but it's honestly not a big deal and I'm kicking myself I didn't convert sooner.

Honest reviews on Azonic Momentum Axle (3/8- Inch, 12- mm x 135- mm)

steps the 12mm x 135mm hub down to fit 135mmx10mm rear dropouts , the fitment is good , really solid construction . a lil bit on the heavy side but who cares when it goes on a DH bike. when you tighten it the nut will bit into the frame/dropouts, so i used 2 washers in between the axle nut and the dropout to prevent damage . cant ask more for the prie, awesome buy !!

Works as advertised. Allows you to use a 12mm thru axle hub with a 10x1 frame. Saved me a lot of hassle and money.
