Strengths: Cheap, relatively lightweight (1750 gr), bladed spokes, strong, reliable.Weaknesses: Not very stiffBottom Line: I´ve bought this wheelset in early January and since then they have been used in multiple weather conditions, from wet and extremely muddy to dry and dusty.
The hubs are still running smooth and the freewheell shows no signs of needing maintenance. There are no strange noises caused by sand or other impurities. Everything works just as brand new.
About two months ago, the wheels needed to be realigned. Although I'm a lightweight rider, I generally ride rocky trails, which has been a real test to the wheelset resistance, and caused them to need realignment.
Recently, I strated using a tubeless system, so I converted my wheels, using a rim tape, which proved to be a good option. The rims hold the tires very well, and I have no problems with air losses.
I reccomend these wheels to those who want a reliable and relatively lightwight wheelset, with a good quality for a small price.

Strengths: bladed spokes, stiff, cheap, this is the 2010 Crossride UB (rim-brake only)Weaknesses: none so farBottom Line: So far so good, weight is ok (rear: 996g, front:842g, skewers:124g). I removed the stickers, prefer my wheels like that. Really liked my old Shimano wheels (M545) but replaced with Mavic because rims were worn (V-brakes). I hope the crossrides will last as long and stay true like the 565s

Strengths: - very good bearings,
- stayed true since buying
- no problems with blade-spokes (24 front and rear) and no problems with radial spokes (Straight pull spokes)
- very good freewheel-drive (fts-x) - gets a little bit louder after the first 100 km
- good breaking efficency because of ub-control
- looking good
- you can even do little jumps with them and they stay true
Weaknesses: - frontwheel not super stiff if the terrain is very rough
- if a stone hits the spokes they are loosing the black color
Bottom Line: I use the wheels for trailriding on my 100m hardtail with avid single digit VBRAKE an they doing a good job. because of the UB Control there is no rubbing if you breaking very strong. My Weight is 80kg (no problem for the wheelset) and i use them now for 6 months and i purchased them for 150 at Ebay.
