| FavoriteTrail: | Pot Brew Bottom |
| Duration Product Used: | Tested or demo'ed only |
| Purchased At: | - |
| Strengths: | Very light for a downhill intended wheel set, good paint job - doesnt chip that easy. |
| Weaknesses: | As above very light - too light - not very strong in the latteral direction (side to side) 3 cross and only 32 spoke! |
| Similar Products Tried: | Mavic Ex729 2007 on Hope Big'un 4 cross pattern with DT swiss Alpine 3 spokes(My babies) |
| Bike Setup: | My friends bike - DDG Blackjack, DMR Moto Digger tyres, Rockshox Boxxer Race, X-lite 4 piece bar, Hope Headset, Hope M4 brakes, Sram PG990, PC991 - No Rubbish |
| Bottom Line: | After a 3 hour ride over some 5 to 10 foot drops in the woods the front wheel started to warp a bit side to side - but the wheel did not buckle in the radial direction? very odd. The rear wheel lasted a few rides later before it started showing some warp but still I think it should have lasted a bit longer before it needed truing. Bearings are fine for DH bashing. Not a fantasic wheel set for your money, my mavic/hope combo as described above makes a perfect downhill and jumping wheel - lasted me ages. Bottom line, not strong enough for your big jumps and hucks but the wheels are dam light - they would make perfect cross country wheels lol, 3 chillies because they were not too expensive. |
