Date Reviewed: September 27, 2002 | | Favorite Trail: | XC | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | Local dealer | | Strengths: | Strong, spinnable, goof looking (black color) | | Weaknesses: | none knowned. | | Bike Setup: | "Lee Coungan Revenge Al" bike; Shimano Deore LX equipped with XTR 9 speed selector; Formula B4 hidraulic disk breacks; Rock Shox Duke C front shock; Mavic 225 wheels; Panaracer 2.1 Fire Xc Pro tires. | | Bottom Line: | Actualy, this review is for the Mavic 225 wheels. I didn't found this product on the reviews list, so I wrote it over here.
I had a little accident with this wheel, and now I can tell you the quality of this material.
I had the wheel taked off the bike and accidently passed with an all terrain vehicle (suv) over him.
Well, next I take it to my local dealer and expect the worst news. I am talking about 1600 kilograms passing over the wheel.
For my big admiration, the dealer told me that the wheel didn't suffer any kind of major damage. Only the little pice in the center that ataches the wheel to the fork had to be replaced. The whell just warped/bended a very little few milimiters, practically imperceptible at eye view.
I just have to say: GOOD (VERY GOOD) JOB MAVIC! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Just kidding! But I do jump over everthing in sight so they have surved their purpose.Have no idea how they compare to the more expensive wheels,but I was told by friends the lighter more expensive wheels would get broken if they got used in the same way. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: May 20, 2000 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | Good price. Came stock on my bike with LX hubs and have held up pretty well so far, but I think I'm going to buy some Mavic Crossrides and use these as road wheels, but still good trail riding wheels | | Weaknesses: | come out of true a bit, I've got a couple of nice dings in the rear rim | | Similar Products Used: | None really. Weinneman Zac 19. riden friends Crossrides | | Bike Setup: | '99 Giant ATX 870 XT LX compononts, Judy XC's | | Bottom Line: | Damn fine rim for the price, but a future upgrade wouldn't hurt. Comparing them to X517's isn't fair. They aren't even close price wise. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
