Johan Bornman Posted October 12, 2009 Share Both these rims are proprietary to their respective wheels. So the question is moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted October 12, 2009 Share I think the hubs are a bigger issue then the rims. Spokes are also an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoe Posted October 12, 2009 Share XTR!! More reliable and stronger (or so I've heard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Bornman Posted October 12, 2009 Share XTR by far. The hubs and freewheel are better. The XTR spokes are steel and won't freeze onto their nipples like the Mavic's does. The XTR rims won't crack as quickly as the Mavic ones and the XTR rims have two molecules of scandium in, which buys you big bragging rights.

Mr Mulebar Posted October 14, 2009 Share XTR's are also marginally lighter than SLR's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted October 14, 2009 Share but you can only run Shimano wheels if you are using Shimano groupset. It will look totally out of place on a Sram (sram, not Es-ram or Shram) equiped bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li Mu Bai Posted October 14, 2009 Share but you can only run Shimano wheels if you are using Shimano groupset. It will look totally out of place on a Sram (sram' date=' not Es-ram or Shram) equiped bike.[/quote'] Oh rubbish, MTB is slightly less anal than Road as far as having to keep a groupset complete. Race mtb's are now equipped with components that give best value/weight etc. mixing sram with shimano wheels or other bits(front deraileur) makes no difference. Only a roady style sherrif would hassle over keeping it all shimano... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
