Sporty looks (though may feel it's OTT). Cons none (though could be a bit lighter). Verdict I got these after contemplating Mavic CrossRide and CrossTrail offering. These are more comparable to the CrossTrail. I got them new online for just a tad more than the CrossRide. They perform great and are confidence inspiring - perfect for me as I develop my off-road skills. Looking for a smooth, reliable, reasonably lightwieght wheelset, look no further! reviewed by RowdyREBEL   on March 2, 2009   Pros Lightweight tough wheels with pull-straight spokes. Spin freely, great looks at a great price! Cons none Verdict I don't worry about bending these wheels at all, one less thing to worry about when beating down some rough terrain. These wheels won't let you down...try them out and you will see.
