A couple of years ago I Bought a pair of Crossrides. Absolutely superb set of wheels --Except for the Freehub, Perfect strong, light wheels, but 2 repairs on the freehub and I still do not use the damn things, Suddenly having a freewheel in both directions is not nice. Shimano XT coupled to a top quality rim are just as light, are just as good, and cheaper. Wheels only last so many miles before they need replacing, or severe maintenance. Although I cannot recommend cheap wheels, I can't see the point in paying over the odds for something that is no better than the good quality wheels that I am using.

Perhaps I have been unlucky in the one set of "Quality" wheels that I have bought, but I have not been "Unlucky" in the 7 pairs of shimano hubs to mavic rims, bought over the past 5 years.
