Less than a year old and fully serviced. Like I said, it's always the same story with cup n cone. They never feel perfect when they start wearing out. I didn't want this to turn into a cup n cone vs. cartridge debate. I should have kept that comment to myself, but in my experience I much rather deal with cartridges. You don't need to worry about the cones being too loose or too tight scenario.

Was browsing Vision site the other day - those Vision 30 are pretty heavy. Don't know anything about the Pro-lites - graphics are a bit much, but that's neither here nor there.
I went with the Fulcrums.

That was my first pick, but I'm hearing/ seeing that mavic rear hubs are cheap.
