from Seattle Date Reviewed: November 23, 2010 Strengths: These rims are set & forget! I've ridden these @ Whistler off the clown shoes drop & many others up there. Literally my favorite rims. Will buy them as long as they are produced. Going on (scary thought) 7 years. I've had to have these rims trued technically 1 time. 2 other times I had to have a new rear hub installed from breaking axles. Never has this rim let me down. Weaknesses: Makes other rims look pretty lame. Ceramic coating looks so good that the raw aluminum ones look pretty bland (but still kick buttt). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Galbraith, Whistler Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $50.00 Purchased At: Dropnzone.com Similar Products Used: Too long ago to remember... Mavic D521 or EX521 same rim as the 721 just older name. Bike Setup: 2002 Kona stinky, 2002 Kona Bear(rip) Rims/wheels moved over to 2008 Dawg frame, still looking awesome!

from Cheshire, UK Date Reviewed: October 7, 2009 Strengths: Built on Hope Pro II's, light and strong rim that comes highly recommended by a lot of riders. I've given them a good beating for a few months now and theyve not gone out of true, though Ive kept on top of them maintenance wise. Gave them a couple of flat spots after a weeks riding in the Alps, but they should straighten up no probs... Weaknesses: None I can think of..

from Sydney Date Reviewed: March 13, 2007 Strengths: They're light compared to the other options available, and comparatively strong. They look good, they roll fast and so far, they seem to have a decent life span. My front ceramic 721 is 3 years old and never trued, still tight and straight. Weaknesses: They crack around the eyelets, but I've had a small hairline crack in my front rim since day 3. 3 years later, it's still strong as. My rear wheels have had the same cracks (only small lines forming, not full cracks. This doesn't bother me. I find that the side walls are a little weak. I ride rough terrain, tipical mountain goat tracks and generally find a new flat spot after a days riding. Hasn't caused any issues yet though, I'm just aware that they are there Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Mt Coramba, Dayboro, OBR Duration Product Used: 2 Years Bike Setup: 223
