Weaknesses: Not a very good rim. It is made to only fit up to a 2.2 tire.(It works with a 2.5 i guess) Not very strong. Bends easily and spokes come off.

from Wellington, New Zealand Date Reviewed: August 2, 2007 Strengths: It can take the hits quite easily and its not to heavy. it looks nice, i had it on a hard tail doing drops and urban it doesn't buckle easily or if it does not a great deal... Weaknesses: I found the spokes were always coming loose even in my front wheel i need to constantly tighten them. theres a bit of flex in the wheel when i pump the cranks and in combination with my chain stay flexing it rubs on my chain guide. oh and since the rim gets thin out to the edges if you hit it at a bad angle the rim will fold in easily i found to my dismay :< .

from pasadena, california Date Reviewed: October 13, 2006 Strengths: Mavic 321 rims with a never heard of front 20mm hub TX Quando and rear XT M756 hub. I bought it as a wheelset. The 321 is a strong but pretty lightweight rim, as it weighs in at 570 grams according to Mavic. They stay true on my XC bike which is great because I hate truing rims and you can take small 2-3 footers and not have to worry about them. The rims are probably stronger than my bike frame. Weaknesses: The 321 Disc are pretty narrow for a so-called freeride rim. I have a set of 2.20 Bontranger tires on them and they fit fine but I can't see anyone slapping 2.5 or 2.7 tires on them, they seem too narrow. I'd get a different rim for those unless you have lots of health insurance.
