719s are ok, but if you want an undestructible polo wheel use ex721s..they come disc or rim brake. A little heavier, but burly enough to retrue to perfection every time. Don't get dents nearly as easy as 719s and build straight as fuck.. =wheel with nice even tension. I've used both for 3 years, the 719 I relegated to the rear because of dents..mostly from ruperts shot..same shot that dented my tube. So as long as you don't try to save ruperts goals 719s are fine, otherwise go 721.
Also, eyelets in 719s (newer batch) don't like as much tension as they used to..theyre a bit pussy IMO.
