But even so, I have wheelset with some older 550g mavics. When I'm not racing what does it matter?
I really don't understand the appeal of this brand.
These rims are very heavy which, to me, is a design issue.
What is most troubling is the +/- 20g tolerance. That's 7%! The KinLin rims and the alloy rims we make are +/-5g. It's extruded alloy and a basic pin and sleeve. That should be pretty easy to control.
Glue on a non-structural faring and you have every rim they make.
Not a fan.
