Titus Date Reviewed: July 29, 2012 Strengths: Haven't failed. Have had these for about 4 years and are still running true. Weaknesses: Have noticed that the black paint around the eyelets is starting to lift off the surface in some areas which is probably corrosion from riding in coastal areas where seawater has got on them.

from Netherlands Date Reviewed: September 5, 2009 Strengths: Light, in combination with DT Swiss 240s and DT swiss competition spokes good wheels, but... read about weanesses. Weaknesses: After one year of riding I did a routine inspection of the rear wheel and found several dents in the wheel. I am about 90 kgs and I am a relatively careful (not that aggressive) rider. I usually have both wheels on the ground and no drops more than 1 foot describes my riding. It is really disappointing to find out that I have to replace the rim after just one year of riding. These rims are definitely weaker than the el-cheapo rims I got on my first mountainbike. It is difficult to compare experiences with other riders, but in my case the problem occured after 4000kms of riding. Perhaps, production quality of the rims is not constant so that some people have good rims some bad ones. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Nijmegen Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $500.00 Purchased At: bike-discount.de Similar Products Used: Mavic EX 721 (good), Rigida X-star 19 (weak) Bike Setup: XT brakes, shifters, derailleurs. Fox F32 100RLC, Fox float rp23, DT Swiss hubs, spokes, and rims. (Rims will become mavic xc717 disc).
