$200.00 | | Purchased At: | For sale add | | Strengths: | I beat these wheels up pretty bad. The black powdercoating is scratched off pretty bad from dragging along rocks, yet they are still true. They are qite heavy but they are supposed to be. | | Weaknesses: | Only problem I had was that the yellow stickers didn't go well with my bike. So I took em off. Easy enough. | | Similar Products Used: | dt swiss 6.1 | | Bike Setup: | 2008 Nomad, Lyric 2 step fork, X0 shifters and derailleurs, Hayes HFX 9 brakes, Maxxis minion tires | | Bottom Line: | I am very happy with these wheels. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$200.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | well, i bought these seond hand with a crack in the rim. Bad idea, maybe, but i work in a bike shop and figured that i could true them and things would be ok. You know what, for once in my life, I was right! I'm a pretty technechly bad rider, meaning i jump off really big stuff and normally land wrong. These things can take a beating! | | Weaknesses: | well, i cant break em, so i guess none..oh yeah, they cost alot | | Similar Products Used: | everything eles (stay away from ditch witches and rhyno lites!!!!) | | Bike Setup: | 2004 enduro...completely custom | | Bottom Line: | if you are like me, you prefer your taco's from a mexican resturaunt, not a mountain bike wheel manufacturer. if you have the cash, buy them. Ignore any bad reviews you red cause they are complete bullsh*t and the people who wrote them are probably 300lbs overweight. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$700.00 | | Purchased At: | Grt southern bikes | | Strengths: | They are popular in mtn bike movies | | Weaknesses: | Spokes come loose | | Similar Products Used: | alex, various mavic rims | | Bike Setup: | 04 RM Switch | | Bottom Line: | I purchased these rims thinking they would hold up.After a month of riding, 12 spokes had come loose in which time a buckle had formed,not happy.Every ride there after at least 2- 4 spokes were coming loose and I was always having to tru the back rim up.I weigh 75kg and the type of riding I do, would best be described as light free ride/cross country.I was even willing to fore go the fact that they are yellow, all I wanted was a maintenance free rim.It was not to be.Mavic being the kind hearted company they are give you a poxy plastic spoke key which rounds out after about 10 spokes,as well as a poxy plastic rear axle spanner which breaks as soon as you use it.So when I go to send the rear rim back to mavic which is still under warranty,get this I have to pay the freight $45 .The bottom line is, Dee max UST wheels do not hold up in real world riding conditions . buyer beware. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: June 10, 2005 | | Favorite Trail: | Mohican DH | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | Stiff as heck!!!! Bombproof for sure, for only having 28 spokes per rim!!! | | Weaknesses: | Rear hub continues to loosen up after a day of drops and hucks. | | Similar Products Used: | Halo 48's | | Bike Setup: | SGS TEAM | | Bottom Line: | Great rim!! I have landed almost sideways 2 times on this rim and it didn't tweek it at all. Over a year of HARD riding and they have never been trued up. They don't need it!!!!!! When people see this rim, it is always.."Those are sweet!!!!!!!!!" So they have a unique look as well. This is just one mean machine of a rim set!!!! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$250.00 | | Purchased At: | Leisure Lakes | | Strengths: | Very Strong, Light | | Weaknesses: | kinks on the wheel from where each of the spokes is attatched to the wheel. | | Similar Products Used: | Funn chronic extreme | | Bike Setup: | Cannondale Gemini 2000 | | Bottom Line: | These wheels are very strong and their weight is great. But still they are not impossible to break or buckle just go off a bike enough drop and they will start to suffer. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$16.00 | | Purchased At: | my loyal neighborhood bike shop | | Strengths: | Great aero looks, strength, doesn't weigh too much | | Weaknesses: | none | | Similar Products Used: | Mavic shallow-rims (can't remember the model) | | Bike Setup: | Galmod Mohai frame, Syntace V-2 handlebar & stem, Deore LX drivetrain, Acera brakes, MOB 26 x 1.15" tires, Vetta Gel saddle | | Bottom Line: | I got these rims and set it up with the Shimano Mega hubs & spokes back when I was still using a full-suspension. The wheel & 1.38" tire setup weighed a little more compared to my previous shallow-rim setup, but the deep rims made up for it as I went faster (i use my bike for duathlons and triathlons). Seems there's less wind resistance with these babies.
I stuck with these rims when I switched to my Galmod - it's an Italian brand -but changed to 1.15"s: this is about as light and aero as I'll ever be with an MTB. Wahoo! I can even keep pace with some roadies now. The best part is that when I get tired of road duty, I can change the tires and go back to dirt trails. You can't do that with a road bike.

Date Reviewed: July 17, 2002 | | Favorite Trail: | narbethong north shore course | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Purchased At: | came with bike | | Strengths: | bombproof. these wheels have direct pull straight spokes, any wheel builder will tell you that is the strongest way to build a wheel. hubs are also as smooth as any road wheel i have seen in all the shops i have worked in. | | Weaknesses: | price. | | Similar Products Used: | hed rims. sun rhino lites. | | Bike Setup: | craftworks dh 208 frame, boxxers, hayes and all the other dh garb. | | Bottom Line: | I have raced for just over two years in elite men here in Australia and thrashed around freeriding aswell every week on these wheels and they have held up great. I broke the frame on my first dh bike, now on my second and the wheels are still going strong. At some races where i have run 12 psi and hit rocks and roots realy hard i have expected to see huge dents or flat spots in the rim, nothing yet. very strong wheels. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
