a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: May 8, 2012 Strengths: Look cool, light. Weaknesses: First and foremost poor, poor customer service. The problems all began when I noticed my freehub was not spinning at all when freewheeling. I took it apart which was easy enough, cleaned and lubed it. No good. I took a close look and it appeared that the steel engagement teeth on the hub were marring the soft aluminum freewheel and they were. I took it to my local LBS who tried to do the footwork on the warranty. Mavic denied it stating the freehub was a consumable part and would not warranty it. Upset I sanded out the gouges and put the hub back together. Much better but I still noticed that there was a catch. I took it apart and noticed that the engagement flange on inside the hub was slightly warped. I took it back to my LBS and they again contacted Mavic regarding it, Mavic said they would look at it but made no promises at all. If you buy any mavic product online (which has to be the majority of bike part purchases) they treat it like a used part and will not warranty it. What is a company if it does not put the customer first and stand behind their product?! Not a fan of mavic anymore based on this experience. Do not buy these wheels.

from NYC Date Reviewed: March 10, 2012 Strengths: Great strength to weight ratio, very adjustable and servicable hubs, 4 pawl rear hub gives excellent engagement, rims are very strong, nipples fit standard spoke wrench, straight laced spokes, look sweet, price is awesome even at retail. I found the crossline front on sale for $110 at price point, then 2 months later they had the rear for sale for $165 and now I have the set. That was 3 years ago, now they going for $400 because people know how awesome they are. Weaknesses: rim is a bit narrow, specially when using tires wider than 2.1. but will work with 2.35. little flex but to be expected in such light wheels, Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Plattekill Mt- freeride trail Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $275.00 Purchased At: pricepoint Similar Products Used: Tried all rims from sun and mavic as well as just about every hub out there. Bike Setup: I had these wheels on a giant reign and KHS XCT. Used for jumping, tech decents, freeride, and xc.

from Acton, MA Date Reviewed: January 2, 2011 Strengths: Relatively low price and weight for the advertised use Weaknesses: Right out of the box the spoke tension was very uneven, which resulted in the rear wheel coming out of true very quickly. After 2.5 months of cross country and moderate free-ride use the freewheel started slipping (failure to engage when pedaling), and then completely locked up. In addition, although relativley minor, the rear hub constantly needed tightening. They give you a little wrench to adjust the hub in the field, but it became more of a chore than an option.
