Pure Fix 700C 40mm Wheelset

My new wheelset just came in and I am utterly and completely satisfied! They are lightweight, durable, and look totally awesome on my bike. I definitely recommend you buy Pure Fix Cycles Wheelsets.

Low-grade badge-job: the wheels are probably not unsafe but quality of build and materials is poor even by cut-rate Asia import standards. Plan to replace the axle sooner rather than later because the criminally soft threads will deform and freeze the nuts; in fact, save yourself some time and just add the axle to your order now. Typical of badge-jobbers Pure Fix will not know what size axle their bikes or wheels use, but they will happily waste your time and money with bad guesses - let's skip that: it's is engineered and built in China, thus it's a 10x1 metric. Two stars instead of one because the wheels are probably safe.

I keep having problems with PureFix wheelsets.One of the wheels in the first wheelset I purchased (which were the wheels that came with the bike frame and everything else) was, accordingly to a bike shop owner, “shaped irregularly. It was too narrow of a dip which put too much stress on the tube causing the tube to rupture.” I kept on trying to offset this problem by putting strips of old tubes (since I had a ton of popped tubes as a result of using these tubes) in, but these only temporarily fixed the problem and always resulting in my tubes popping within a couple days. I even messaged the PureFix company, but they never emailed me back about a solution. Finally, a bike owner told me to just buy a new wheelset and so I did.I bought these hoping I just got a defective first pair. These have a different shape from the first pair of PureFix wheels I’ve bought. They’re not as narrow as the first pair. I thought this would fix the problem, but unfortunately another problem arose since I’ve had more flat tubes since installing these. That problem according to a bike shop worker was that “The puncture of your rear tube appears to be due to a sharp edge of the plastic rim strip in the wheel.” To fix this, the bike shop worker put a rubber rim strip to protect the tube from this sharp edge.It’s unfortunate that I’ve gone through close to 15 tubes trying to fix the problem with these wheels. Maybe I’ve just gotten unlucky with the wheelsets I’ve gotten because others (based on reviews of the wheelsets and bikes) don’t seem to have problems with their PureFix wheels. Since the rubber strip was installed, I haven’t had any problems. These wheels are really attractive looking though, so make sure you’re willing to risk getting a bad set of wheels if you buy these.I wish PureFix had better customer service because this has been a really frustrating ordeal.

These are a great set of wheels! They look absolutely fantastic on my State Jamaica. I love them. They ride super smooth and they are solid. They weigh practically nothing compared to the rims that I previously had on my bike. The only problem that I've had with them so far is that upon arrival one of the spokes was really loose. When I pulled it apart I found out that the nipple had already been stripped somehow. It wasn't a major deal, but it did set me back about 10 minutes in repairs. Otherwise, I'm loving these rims!

Fantastic price for what you get. Two wheels! Flip/flop hub and both are easy to install. Be rolling on them on sh**ty Chicago streets for a couple of rides now. Love 'em!

I was a little skeptical about choosing the gold color way since I assumed it would be very flashy. The gold is very subtle which makes a black bike frame stand out just enough while looking as sleek as it could possible be. Both wheel sets were plastic wrapped in a big box to prevent any dents or scratches to the item. Overall great purchase, Purefix seems to never dissapoint.

Very nice wheelset, only problem I have is that both wheels are missing White Pure Fix logo and it seems weird...

I had to drill a hole in the front rim because the hole for the inner tube stem did not line up at all. Not sure how this made it off the factory floor and passed inspection or especially how no one noticed while the rim tape was applied. Luckily I had power tools to work with. This cost me time and an inner tube trying to fix which is unacceptable for the price paid.
