Shangri la Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I am building a tallboy and received an interesting comment the other day… I was asking for pricing on Mavic Crossmax SLR 29 wheels and was told to rather look at the Mavic SL as the SLR flex and tend to damage too easily. I use them on my 26 and have no problems ever. Would you agree?
rouxtjie Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Not a fan...xmas tree wheels imo. They are pretty though. Flamesuit on
CAAD4 Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Not a fan of high priced factory MTB wheels. Shirley you can build a good custom set for the same number of Nelsons? rouxtjie 1
cowboylegs Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 aren't mavics the only tubeless wheels? i.e. the rims dont have to get tubeless tape if so its why they are priced at a premium
kingalton Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 aren't mavics the only tubeless wheels? i.e. the rims dont have to get tubeless tape if so its why they are priced at a premiumNope, you get loads of tubeless wheel sets that dont need tape..

Ysterperd Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Cant go wrong with Mavic's. When I build my Tallboy i opted for the Mavic C29's, only option available at the time. Have since ridden the SLX (mate of mine chose them) and although they are lighter and more blingy, I would personally recomend the SL or even C29's, better value for money

Stig Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Had 2 Tallboys, best up grade I ever did was a set of ZTR Arch ex, Light tough and stiff, I'm 100 kgs
BMXER Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 I have 2 sets of slr's and one set of eastons. Slr's are the best in my 20 years of racing.
