AWESOME WHEELSET
very strong, light for the strength, well built, look fantastic and the finish is durable, sweet flat blade spokes, disc and V compatible , machined surface works great with maguras once its bedded in, and doesnt kill the pads too
You even get decent skewers, though not the flash ceramic ones, but they are £60 on there own!
None - well except people think your a flash git with crossmax as you cant tell till your close up.
Really impressed, paid £110 for them and there is nothing else that could touch em for the money. Really fast smooth rolling, great freewheel too and easy servicing.
Not 100% bombproof, finally knocked the rear out of true after 4mth, but bareley noticable, and that is for a 15st average rider on a hardtail chasing 5" full sussers down glentress/coedy , so they still get a 5 for me as my old rims would be tacos after that, infact most rims would.
Generally you get crossmax for 1/4 of the price with 90% perfomance and only 20% heavier, cant go wrong really
