It is semi strong i guess.
Did a 2m drop to flat on a hardtail with these rims and they survived.
Cheap now? | | Weaknesses: | Not a very good rim.
It is made to only fit up to a 2.2 tire.(It works with a 2.5 i guess)
Not very strong.
Bends easily and spokes come off.

I liked when it was on my bike but then it cracked at the weld and there vas a big flat spot on it from a jump that is not very large. I had some good times when it was on my bike and its a good rim for dirt jump and street but I use my bike more as a freeride hardtail. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: February 1, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Whittier Turnbull Canyon | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | stays straight, no pinched flats | | Weaknesses: | Too much flex, back 2.35 tire rubs against my frame on my Nomad, Spokes come loose too often and break easily, high maintenance, needs to be serviced every 2-3 months. | | Bike Setup: | Nomad, Fox DHX 5.0 coil, Fox 36 Vanilla RC2 fork, Truvativ Holzfeller Cranks with E13 Chain guide, Mavic 321 with DT Swiss 240 Rear and 340 front, Kenda Nevegal tires 2.5 front and 2.35 rear single ply sticky. Sram XO and Avid Juicy brakes with 185mm rotors front and rear. Thompson X4 stem with Easton Havoc Bars, King headset, Thompson seat post, WTB Pure V seat. | | Bottom Line: | I'm a very aggressive rider, I always hit that ladder drop at Whittier and all other jumps I see. I also ride extremely fast. I go through a lot of parts and this is my second Nomad because I messed up the pivots on the first one, Santa Cruz just sent me a new frame. I also broke the cranks that came with my bike and had to upgrade to the downhill ones. These rims came on my bike and I've hated them since the very first day. At first I thought the reason for the loose spokes was that the spokes where just getting settled but thats not the case since it keeps happening all the time. Also this rim has too much lateral flex such as when I bunny hop or jump the wheel goes into my frame. Its mostly the back wheel since thats the one that gets most of the abuse. One thing that I have noticed is that the rim still remains straight. I'm also a larger rider at 215lbs so that makes a difference too. These might be more ideal for a smaller rider who weighs about 160lbs and who dosent like to go big since the wheel will just give instead of getting bent. Also surprisingly I've never had any pinched flats with this rim. Personally I just don't feel safe on these rims and they have caused me to hold back from trying certain stunts such as hucking. As soon as I get the cash I plan on getting Deemax wheel set. If your a bigger rider who likes to jump look elsewhere. If you need proof you could check out my video clip just listen for the tire rub when I hit the ladder drop:

$200.00 | | Purchased At: | pricepoint | | Strengths: | Mavic 321 rims with a never heard of front 20mm hub TX Quando and rear XT M756 hub. I bought it as a wheelset. The 321 is a strong but pretty lightweight rim, as it weighs in at 570 grams according to Mavic. They stay true on my XC bike which is great because I hate truing rims and you can take small 2-3 footers and not have to worry about them. The rims are probably stronger than my bike frame. | | Weaknesses: | The 321 Disc are pretty narrow for a so-called freeride rim. I have a set of 2.20 Bontranger tires on them and they fit fine but I can't see anyone slapping 2.5 or 2.7 tires on them, they seem too narrow. I'd get a different rim for those unless you have lots of health insurance. | | Similar Products Used: | Bombshell Fatboy, Sun SingleTrack | | Bike Setup: | Intense Spider XVP | | Bottom Line: | If you want a good XC or trailbike wheelset that you wont need to baby if you ride through rock gardens or ocassional drops, get the 321's. They dont weigh that much and they are super strong. You wont win any XC races for sure, but the strength and durability is worth it. These are great wheels to get for replacing those stock wimpy rims that came with your bike. Like I stated above, the rims are too narrow for 2.5 and up tires, but for 1.9 to 2.35, these are the ticket. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

I just got this bike together and have very few miles on it.As you can see from bike setup I built this thing as cheap as possible.And I freekin' love it!
The only arguement you my have with these, is the 321 versus say a wider rim for tech reasons.A wider rim may put more rubber on the road but it seems to me it would also square off the tire a bit.And might make it more twitchy conering.
So if you are doing research/buliding a bike.or just looking for new hoops you can trust Mavic.Not for crosscountry.Maybe not for xtream freeride or dh.
Just for the rest of us. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
