The Industry 9 All Mountain in anodized silver looks nice. Originally I was thinking of the Mavic Crossmax SL but have been speaking with people who have had trouble with them. I don't think the pawls in the rear hud are as many as in the Industry 9, which makes me favor the 9 over the Mavic also. I had a hand buillt set of American Classic Hubs with Velocity VXC rims which were very light and held true for every. I had a bit of trouble with the rear hub though, it was a little fragile. I was beginning to think why change, maybe just upgrade the hubs and stick with the Velocity VXC rims. The hub I was thinking about were the 2008 Shimano XTR, does anyone have an opinion on this combo compared to the Industry 9. I know the 9s will cost more but if they are significantly better I am ready to order. I also use Avid Juicy 7 brakes so I would need the adapter on the hubs.
