Solstice Posted May 23, 2010 Share Need some advise... Has anyone ever used Mavic Crosstail Disc Wheels 2010? Thinking of buying a set @ approx 3k5 Any other wheelsets that compare? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted May 23, 2010 Share Personally I think its a crappy wheelset. I had 3 Mavic wheelsets before and they all gave problems. The hub internals are made out of marshmellows. In that price range you can get a set of Mavic 819 tubeless rims with Shimano SLX hubs. You'll have a bombproof wheelset that will last forever.

HLTGN Posted May 23, 2010 Share Rather get a XT wheelset. They are great all round wheels and very strong. CWC is selling them for R3200: http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/shimano-xt-775-wheelset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weight Weenie Posted May 23, 2010 Share I second mud dee, not heard anything positive about the hubs. And they are really heavy for the price (and they are not stronger or anything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Posted May 23, 2010 Share bike mechanics dont like working on mavic hubs... that should say it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstice Posted May 27, 2010 Share Thank you all for the response. Think I'll stick to non straight-pull spokes and away from Mavic hubs. Was looking at the SLX hubs as well...was put off with the spoke type. Anyway, looks like "hope" if I can afford or XT if I can't wait. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
