from Alberta Date Reviewed: June 8, 2009 Weaknesses: The rear wheel has developed a crack at the valvve stem hole on the inside of the rim. It is impossible to hold any air now and I must use a tube. Have been running this wheel for over two years and lots of miles. A friend has the same wheels and purchased at the same time and has the exact same crack. The crack appeared this year in my wheel and last year in my friends.

from Detroit MI Date Reviewed: June 10, 2005 Strengths: very stiff, very nice looking Weaknesses: the hub on this wheelset is total crap. crap crap crap. i work at a shop and so far this year we have sent 4 of these wheels back to mavic. doesnt matter the size of the rider, the hubs on these go loose. one of them came back unfixed with nearly a hundred dollars worth of labor. every crossmax sl we have sold to REAL riders has to go back to mavic EVERY year. one of my customers has waited 6 weeks now to get his $800 wheel back, and i just talked to mavic and they havent even touched it yet. it isnt even unboxed. i warn all high end riders, BEWARE!!!!!! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $800.00 Purchased At: mavic sux Similar Products Used: dt swiss makes a great wheel that in my experience is lighter, just as stiff, uses spokes that arent ridiculously expensive or hard to find, and the service center at dt swiss seems to consist of more than one monkey with a wrench like at mavic. also, a chris king hub is really spectacular.

from Seattle, WA Date Reviewed: January 4, 2005 Strengths: Fast, smooth, durable and they look cool. They been raced hard on a hardtail and full suspension bike. Weaknesses: None that I have seen. Tubeless could definalty be lighter. The tires and the rims add up to increased rotating mass. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $450.00 Purchased At: Gregg's Similar Products Used: Mavic 517 ceramic rims with XTR hubs and the original CrossMax. Bike Setup: Gary Fisher Sugar 1 full XTR and Norco Team Ti Hardtial full XTR.

from NH, USA Date Reviewed: December 26, 2003 Strengths: most excellent so far in every aspect but here's the thing: these are Crossmax "SL" -- and look at the reviews -- there are FIVE different "Crossmax" wheels reviewed here -- and not one of them "SL" - so I don't know if this is the correct product. Weaknesses: can't find one yet but also haven't mounted tubeless which are supposed to be difficult? - so far only tube & tires (WTB's Velociraptor & now Nokian studded (296.) Don't use rimstrip with tube (as I did at first)- and pump the tires way up to 70+ pounds to make bead seat before letting air out to proper pressures. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Similar Products Used: just the old Mavic metal rim brake which finally wore through so bought these Bike Setup: Ibis Bow Ti with Shimano XTR 950 and Avid mechanical disc brake on front
