@farmteamlb: they make good value for money products, but they're just one of the many companies (LightBicycle, Yishun, etc.) offering Chinese made carbon wheels for decent prices. We Are One are one of a few unique companies, in that they actually manufacture in North America. That's something many people like to support. Doesn't mean one shouldn't buy Hunt wheels, but the type of company doesn't warrant a special preference in most people's opinion. Quality-wise, I see relatively large numbers of people with cracked Hunt rims, but the vast majority of them seem to have received good service and replacements. It doesn't seem to be a bad company to order wheels from, just nothing out of the ordinary either. We Are One does seem to be a cut above them in quality and durability (though to be fair, they are a cut above most other manufacturers).

@6foot5aussie: exactly. And name checks out.

That's the level of torque freight truck wheel bolts take, so I'm fairly certain someone mixed up units or misplaced a period somewhere. They won't come rattling loose at that torque though, that's for sure... Love to see someone try to loosen them with their multitool.

@ranchitup: serious case of 'whataboutism'. Try to be one of the over a million Uyghur people in China that have been abducted and put into 're-education' camps, or one of the top athletes or other people that have disappeared after being critical of the single allowed political party. Or one of the poor countries that have fallen victim to Chinese debt-trap-diplomacy. And yes, the US is a serious shitshow itself, maybe just as bad, with actual wars added on. Doesn't make China any less horrible though. What the US is doing isn't suddenly fine, just because Nazi Germany was worse, either.

@Sa14l: you don't need to start a war in order to seriously mistreat people. History is full of powerful empires that abused parts of their populace or defenseless foreigners.

@lepigpen: yeah, that's exactly the tire I wanted too.

@farmteamlb: at least that's from a company people like to support.

At my height (1.76m) I still don't care for 32". That Manitou fork looks awesome though!

@lepigpen: Schwalbe seems to think 27.5" are for mullet setups only, not offering their new tires in Ultra Soft for the front.

@LM-CZ: I believe it's the radial ones specifically that run relatively narrow, maybe because they might have more width increase on impacts than regular ply tires.
