Bicycle Mechanics - Mavic Crossmax SL wheels. Observations.

These are basically Ksyriums for mountain bikes. I have Ksyriums on my road bike and love them but wanted some opinions on the MTB version.

Does anyone have them and do you like them?

Do you notice a difference in ride or power transfer?

Would you buy them again or would you feel ok settling for the Crossmax XL for 200.00 less.

So nobody has these wheels huh?

I have this wheelset on my Blur, and simply luv them. A riding buddy of mine has the XLs and also likes them, but they are a bit more weight. This is the only wheelset I've had on my Blur, but I demo'd another Blur with a set of WTB wheels (I don't remember the model), and I can really tell the difference in terms of acceleration. These wheels make the bike really jump out from underneath you when you get on the pedals. Also, I've not had to even turn a spoke on these wheels yet - they are as true as the day I bought them.

If I were building another bike, there is no doubt that I would choose this wheelset again. Do it!

I have a set on my Yeti, and they have been great. I have had no problems at all.

Thanks. I was wondering if they were as dependable and strong as the Ksyriums. Sounds great.
