DNA Wheels???
I've heard all the horror stories- but they were all about losing air...
I'm considering getting a fat 50 spoke 21" wheel and running it with a TUBE. Has anyone had issues aside from losing air while running tubeless?

my brother and i both run dna wheels, not the mammoth spokes but still same company, had no issues what so ever with mine, was very happy, my brothers rear wheel did have a leak but it could have been the nail that was in the tire haha, his valve stem was loose tho but got the tire fixed and tightened the stem and not a single problem since.
most people dont post about the good, usually only about the bad... we were both very pleased with our wheels n i kno others that have as well. plus DNA is the only reasonably priced wheel makers out there. my rear was something around 385 for a 18x4.25. brothers wheels same as mine just black was around 850$, i mean hd wheels n black bike wanted almost twice the price in either situation, CRAZY!
sorry got off topic haha, but yep

all the bad things i have heard about DNA is the poor customer service and the occasional leak when runnig tubeless. running my mammoth 52 diamond cut spoke wheel for 2 years now and haven't had any problems. the problem with the powder coat is they have to do each spoke individually and then assemble the wheel. does add a bit to the cost.

I just received my 50 spoke wheels in the mail today. I going to try running them tubeless at first. The amount of sealant on wheels looks pretty impressive. What PSI are you guys running on you DNA wheels?
