I like the look of spokes, but the mag is so easy to clean. We have 3-miles of gravel to travel over before getting to the hard road so I go with mags. If I lived on a hard road I would chose spokes.

I really like the wheels on Valerie's Daily Rider. Check em out here- http://www.vtracegirl.com/bikeinfotext.htm

There is a company that somehow seals spoked wheels to make flats much easier to repair and even prevent (and you can use Fixaflat with them). However, the name of the company escapes me. Anyone here know who I'm thinking of?[&:]

Gotta go with mags here. That's one of the reasons that I bought this particular bike. Love the thunderstar wheels!
