I have not had probs with the mammoths, but a lot of others have. Do not buy anything from outlaw cycles though! Terrible company.

There has been a lot of bad press for both. We no longer sell the DNA' wheels due to the fact that DNA sucks. End of story. They are impossible to deal with an quality is very inconsistent. I now understand why Outlaw deals with people the way they do. That being said I have DNA mammoths on my ride and I now run tubes in both of them as I read about someone's going flat. My wheels are great, but I only recommend Ride Wright to customers. They cost a little more but are worth it. If you want pricing let me know. It's too bad about DNA as I was selling two wheels, rotors and matching pulley for about $1200.

Well, I have DNAs and have had no issues. One arrived damaged and they swapped it out, but if Dr. V isn't dealing with them then I would go with the Ride Wrights. There are plenty of negative reviews about DNA and Outlaw for me to stay away in the future. I'm just glad mine turned out good. I love the look.

Haven't heard all that bad about DNA's, but Outlaw and Demon Cycle are another story altogether.
Avoid them like the plague.

I love the look of the DNA's, problem is mine won't hold air overnight. Having trouble getting customer service to answer phone. They are supposed to be sealed, but mine leak out thru the spoke nipples.
Anybody drilled out the valve hole to a size to accept a tube on a 21"x2.15 rim with success? My mechanic says it will put the hole into the spoke indents on the rim.
These people either need to get it fixed or stop shipping these things. Somebody soon will crash & be badly injured from tire failure from their lack of quality control

I use to own some fat spoke ride wrights. Best thing I can tell you is elbow grease and a rag and a cold one to help with the time. Spray it with wheel cleaner when washing adn then pull it in and detail on a stand so you can turn the wheel. Don't know of an easier way. There are some cool attachments on drills, but I never tried em.
