When I had the chance to review the new, redesigned Bontrager Line Pro 30 wheels I was a bit excited to be honest, but maybe I should back up. Let me start this review by saying that I break things. My body, my bike, my pride, the list goes on, and most of these items have been broken more than once. I took some time off the bike as a result, and tried to do what adults do by avoiding risks. I guess my bones and wallet were feeling weird after being whole for so long, so in the beginning of 2019 I jumped back in the saddle and picked up a Trek Slash 9.8, equipped with the previous generation Bontrager wheels. My first experience with the old Bontrager Line 30 Carbon wheels was on that bike and to be honest, it was less than stellar. This is why I was so excited to try the new ones out.
My new bike made me feel fast, so naturally I decided to enter a race- my first in five years. The first run on practice day resulted in my first broken wheel. Little did I know I would break three more that year. In the end I went through one front wheel and three rear wheels in one year’s worth of southern California riding.
All this to say, my frustration and anger with Bontrager was real. I am not some paid reviewer afraid to critique a product, so that may lead you to ask, “Why did you even ride these wheels after that much bad luck?” Well, Bontrager offers a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects, a two-year warranty against rider defect and a great replacement program for what may come after those initial two years. I definitely took full advantage of those policies, and since I owned ‘em, I may as well review ‘em!
If you are like me then you probably think it is nice knowing there is a warranty, but that isn’t enough to make me want to buy more wheels to break. In reality, what made me purchase another set was the advertisement for the new, improved Bontrager LinePro wheels that showed them in a guillotine-like device. I had to try and prove them wrong. There is no way could they have made that big of an improvement, right?
