Trexlers have been around since the beginning of recorded history. They have a unique look that many people like. However, when you start asking about durability, that's a whole different issue. If you like the look and are willing to do the maintenance and upkeep on them, go for it and enjoy your selection. I went through my "Trexler" period sometime ago and discovered I wasn't willing to spend so much time and attention to the wheels. I now use wheels that I expect to change or service only after several seasons of useage.

Enjoy!
