a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: May 8, 2012 Strengths: Great compromise between light and strong, stiff, top notch build quality, works well with center lock/6 bolt Shimano adapters, UST works perfectly even with non-UST tires, got a great deal on the set. Weaknesses: I wish it had a 10 mm rear axle instead of the QR, center lock requires adapters for 6 bolt rotors. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Price Paid:

from Maintal , Frankfurt ,Germany Date Reviewed: July 23, 2011 Strengths: Fairly Light , looks good , UST . Weaknesses: Axel , cone bearing adjustment is suprising hard on the rear , after racing on my hardtail over blocked trails I notice the bearing slops radially, the hub itself is knocked out not the cone, Also the freewheel has failed after 3000km. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: 2010 Transalp Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $450.00 Purchased At: Paul Lange Similar Products Used: Mavic crossride , cheaper , use industrial bearing , not adjustable , are slightly heavier but do have aero spokes. so uphill slower downhill faster and safer And appear after 2000 km to be stiffer and sturdier. Bike Setup: I use a hardtail , maybe people using rear suspension will not damage the bearing like I do on blocked trails with only the front wheel under proper control.

from Quebec,Ste-Poly by the beach Date Reviewed: October 13, 2009 Strengths: quick and stiff and light like all similar products(of same category) Weaknesses: free hub,but have u ever seen a free hub not fail?since I work in a shop,I've seen all types of wheel sets.Originaly I wanted Mavics but didn't want to service them often.(know them too well).And shimano products are available easily.Just order spokes and a freehub in advance because you will need these parts eventually.like any other wheelset.By the way shimano parts are cheaper(less Expensive)than mavic and all the rest.I'm on my second freehub and shimano have warrantied them cause they have the best warranty on the market. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Rigaud Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: Le Suroit Similar Products Used: mavic,easton,dt swiss,Chris King. Wich are all more expensive
