Weinmann 519 Rear Wheel 700c x 35, QR 8-Speed Cassette, 36H, Black

I used this for a hybrid bike repair. I am semi-retired and owned a bike shop for over 30 years. It is common to get a new wheel and have to do some minor alignment with the spokes, but this wheel was almost perfect. Also, the bearings were properly adjusted, but it is important to always check that the axle rotates without any friction (should be like butter). I could have saved a few dollars going down to my old shop, but it wasn't worth my time with this purchase. I would buy again.

The rim is true and as expected. It ships USPS, but it's packaged pretty well. Despite USPS denting a corner of the package, the wheel was fine. One caveat, this rim does not come with rim tape to protect tubes from the spoke attachments. Be sure to buy rim tape! (It would be nice if the product description indicated the appropriate width of rim tape to buy so that consumers can confidently buy both the rim and the tape at the same time.)

Well aligned right out of the box.

Was going to give it 3 stars but the only issue I had was the shipping. The product itself is flawless.

Wheels great.love it

34 spokes, very sturdy. Great buy. Packaging was a bit cheap and puctured when received, so check it out. Mine was fine and works great.
