My Turn on the 296 wheel of fortune :( - Now with good news!

[dhplachy]

I've read through this thread (and others regarding the 19" cracking issues) with great interest.

I ordered my 35is with the 326M wheels and am thinking I made a big mistake and should have stayed with the 18" wheels.

I'm therefore curious if anyone has experienced the same type of cracking issues on the 326M 19" wheels as with the 296?

Not many. I've read a few over the entire internet with 326 issues, the 296 however is plagued with posts about issues. The worst I think you can expect from the 326 wheels is possibly a bend if you hit a massive pothole, but thats the same for any alloy wheel. The only -ve on all the 19's is poor ride, they are notably harder than 17/18's.. however they also look sooo much better!

I love my 296's, but I've already bent a brand new one on the back, and I cringe whenever I hit a deep manhole or pothole... you've done the right thing with the 326's!
