I am not here to argue semantics. I posted my opinion and it stands as it is. That was only one incident, but it only needs to happen once to make me think twice. Here is teh link.

Drew, That was one incedent with the flat tire. If it was a common thing DNA would not be in business right now due to the liability and from getting sued. I got a rear flat on my deluxe a couple years ago with the dunlop tire. It could happen to any tire. All spoke wheels run tubes. I raced motocross for years getting flats quite often with spoke wheels and tubes. I know its more dangerous to get a flat on the road but any wheel or tire can blow at any time. I do agree that they shouldnt call the wheel tubeless if there is leak issues. Its just safe practice to run tubes in a spoke wheel. The quality of the wheel is good, other than a possible leak. How long did you run DNA on your bike? Did you have any blow outs?

I can only speak for my wheels...DNA Mamoths. I bought my set from KC International and they were perfect and mounted right up with no issues. I put tubes in them for safety reasons and I did not want any leaking issues. For my money, I could not see paying double for the same product in a different brand but that is just me. I decided to take a calculated risk believing that while there has been some complaints on this forum against DNA, I assumed DNA sells to far more satisfied customers or they would be out of business. I also paid with a Visa so I knew I had added protection.
The other issue on price is that I tend to get bored and change things up from time to time. With the price of DNAs, it will be easier to swap them out in the future should I want to change wheel color or go to some other wheel. Again, I can get 2 complete sets of DNAs for the price of their competition. I would rather have the coin in my pocket than in the company margin.
