Afternoon....
after deciding I was going to get the canyon nerve al 29er 9.9sl I started looking at the components in detail. Turns out that the mavic crossmax slr wheels have a maximum weight limit of 85kg. Ive not been 85kg in years! Anyone else riding crossmax slr's and weighing around 95 kg?
Cheers

What kind of riding do you do? I'm at the more aggressive end of xc... not wheels in the air stuff, just like to hit things fairly hard and fast....

think mine are a 85kg limit, i think you'll be fine as they are a good quality wheel and you aren't that heavy really, I'm a right fatty

You [i][b]"should"[/b][/i] be fine, but don't come moaning if/when you start breaking spoke for fun.
