Quality for a good price. Have been impressed with my Eighthinch Lo-Fi ...
wheel slightly out of true, but not a huge deal to adjust it. Quality for a good price. Have been impressed with my Eighthinch Lo-Fi bike the last 5 years, and it hasn't let me down until I busted my back wheel going over a curb way too fast. Figured i'd replace with the same brand. Just wish the spokes came in chrome.

Okay wheel bad internals
Ill Start with saying Im a bike mechanic. at first the wheel was amazing rolled vary smooth was very impressed for the price at about 300 miles of commuting I notice the wheel did not roll freely. what happened was one bearing chipped and ground that chip in to the cup of the bearing track. so basically Im rebuilding the hub with new cones and bearings. i consider this something basic to do but some will not Im still giving 4 stars since the over all wheel is still very nice and has stayed very true since I haven't trued it once since i got it.

Totally what you expected
It's a solid heavy wheel. It does the job and is totally what I expected for the price. It is now almost oct 2017 and it is still true with daily rides.
