As the title really. Good or bad?
Use them on my singlespeed with no issues, mate uses them geared with no issues....
Broke front one from pilot error crash, broke rear hub from crap materials on flange retaining the spoke.
i had a pair when they first came out...they look the part and are reasonably lightweight...
depending on the type of riding you do and your riding style they may be good or bad...i used them for all mountain stuff and they were ok if a little flexy on the harsher stuff...the flex was noticeable but not enough to put me off...
good value wheels if you can get them at the right price...but i sold them 2 years ago, and have since heard that getting replacement spokes can be a bit of a faff...
Mine were mostly fine. Wheels stayed perfectly true.
Only issue was what I think was a problem that can potentially affect basically all Mavic wheels (road+MTB, cos they're essentially all the same parts). Freewheel seal can go a bit draggy. Must get the 3rd party replacement some time, so I get a spare pair of usable wheels.
Oh and DON'T throw away that plastic spacer that ships on the freehub! It's there because it's required!
edit: bike-components.de sell the spokes in bulk now at almost acceptable prices, not the €2.99 per spoke special order that they used to be.
Got an older pair, cheapo off Ebay. Dual duty, so to speak, V-brake rim and 6 bolt hub. Brilliant, massive improvement.
