no description on the wheels; what can you tell me/offer ?

Hi there, Great question! The wheels specced on the Trek Soho DLX are a 700c Commuter wheelset designed to stand up to the day-in-day-out thrashing of riding on bike paths and busy city streets, and are overbuilt for this purpose. They are comprised of the Bontrager Nebula rims laced with 36 spokes onto Shimano M475 Centrelock disc hubs. These wheels have featured on a number of Trek and Fisher commuter bikes over the past 2 years and we have had nothing but excellent experience with them. Many of these bikes are loaded up with heavy panniers and are ridden on less than perfect bike tracks, though we're yet to see any of these wheels go out of true. The 36 spokes helps distribute the stresses more evenly compared to a more common 32 spoked wheel, and the Nebula rim is a tough alloy rim with thicker walls to resist denting and keep the overall wheel straight & true. If you ride in a lot of wet weather, you will want to clean out and re-grease the Shimano hubs every 9-12 months or so, which is easily done with 2 cone wrenches. Some people get a bit funny about the cup and cone bearings on Shimano hubs (as oppose to cartridge bearings), but we're big fans of the system as they're super easy to service and maintain yourself and if you do wear anything out then parts are easily accessible from any Shimano dealer (basically every bike shop out there!). Hope that helps with some info, though please send us any other inquiries or call the shop. Regards, Wil My Mountain
