Industry Nine Pillar Carbon Trail 24H Wheelset 27.5in

You can have the best fork, the best shock, the best drivetrain, and the best brakes if you use heavy, flexy wheels your bike won't ride well. The wheels make all the difference. Industry Nine has been making wheels and only wheels for years, and some of its groundbreaking innovations have become the industry standard.
