Pros: Sturdy, track true, great value

Cons: Heavy

Recommendation: These came spec'd on my Yeti Seven and they are a great match for the bike and the type of riding it's intended for. The also help keep the cost of the build down, making this high end bike much more affordable. But that lack of price comes at a price: they are heavy. I'f you're on a budget, you can't beat this wheel for heavy all-mountain use. If you've got spare $$ and want to save some weight, these might not be for you.

Model/Year: 2011 Mavic Crosslines

Pros: They are strong wheels, straight rolling and look great.

Cons: They may not be completely bomb proof but I dont do downhill. Not tubeless wheel.

Recommendation: I got these wheels because I was looking for a wheel to be stronger then a XC wheel but not be too heavy. They roll out great and the freewheel engages right away, much better then what I had before. Inexpensive nice wheels...IMO

Pros: ITS-4 freewheel works like an industry nine freewheel without the annoying sound. Tough construction and straight pull spokes

Cons: you have to pay extra for a quick release and the 9mm front adapters.

Recommendation: Great wheel set built solid and can take a drop or two without damage. I would have to say these work great.
