Strengths: Double wall cross section with eyelets to take the spoke strain.Weaknesses: Heavy insert at rim joint unbalances the wheel. Not the best at staying straight.Bottom Line: The rims do their job but need frequent trueing. I have stripped them and rebuilt them in aeffort at keeping them straight. It is a good job they are run with disk brakes or they would have been changed for Mavic 317's by now.
Duration Product Used: 1 Year
Similar Products Used: Various Mavic rims which are better made and stay staight for longer.
