I have the Mavic crossmax slr - they look awesome & ride well - but the Mavic after sales service is pathetic. I waited almost 4 months for a replacment axle for my front wheel. So - I would say they are awesome wheels - as long as nothing goes wrong with them. Can't comment on the DT swiss as I havent riden them - but they look cool. Good luck !!
I'm keen to ride - but an almost half educated guess...would be No. The weather gods are not playing nice this week. We got caught in the thunder storm @ Thaba on Tuesday night.
That is ridiculous - I have done Sabie X where you couldn't see 20M in front of you due to rain & mist -while riding down wet rocky steep decents... And Trans Baviaans had a back up plan at short notice - so we rode another route, but at least we did it... Not cool W2W
Don't worry Big Ben I won't tell anyone you were wearing Merida socks with Time shoes whilst riding a Specialized... I figure you thought it'd be dark and no one would notice
Yeah - you are right - I'll try the best service guys in the bike industry CWC ...It's just a pain to have to do other peoples jobs for them. But that seems to be the trend these days.
There is a Thaba trails night ride tonight starting at 18:00 We usually have 1 or 2 groups and ride until 19:40 / 20:00 Everyone is welcome to join - the more the merrier
I built up a second bike which is why I needed the second wheelset. I mentioned it to show how bad service can make a customer choose another product instead of sticking with the same brand.
I would obviously be refering to the local agents as I said brand back up. Now they represent the Mavic brand internationally - so would it also not be fair to take a dig at them?? You could try and argue long shipping times etc, but isn't 4 months for an axle for a very popular wheel a little excessive?
