With the transition to Thru-axle as the new standard and for those of us that have bike with QR's, these are a great option. I have a 2018 Supersix EVO that has a thru axle for the front and Quick Release for the rear wheel. Great to have Mavic back in the US. They still allow end cap compatibility for for QR. I love my old Vision wheelset, but they no longer provide end caps for QR. Neither Shimano, ENVE or other popular brand, all do not have QR caps. They are also very stiff wheels and perform great. Couldn't be happier.
Bought this to replace a 2-year-old Shimano GRX rear wheel that started breaking spokes. Found out that Shimano uses a proprietary spoke and nipple that my local shops had trouble finding. DT Swiss is the standard - every shop in the country should have spokes/nipples for it. It's a touch heavier than the GRX wheel, but it's been rock solid and smooth for my 195-pound booty. The ratchet freehub feels good, not super quiet - but not too bad. Overall, no complaints here, aside from it costing a little more than I wanted to spend right now...
I purchased these to be my backup racing and everyday training wheels. My racing wheels are narrow tubular rims which don't allow for a quick change should I have a blowout either training or racing. Having a set of quality clinchers gives me a back up and, in the event they experience a flat, the possibility for changing the tube/tire quickly. These are a nice set of true, smooth rolling wheels of high quality that should last a long time.
I am very happy with this wheel. I got it to replace the OE Bontrager rear wheel, which cracked the rim at a spoke nipple
When it arrived, the box was pretty beat up, but the wheel was undamaged. Out of the box it weighed 908 g.
I had to use tire levers to get my GP5000 clincher on, but that's typical.
I swapped over the disc and cassette and put in on my Domane. The disc fit perfectly with no adjustment of the caliper needed. The derailleur needed a little adjustment to shift just right.
A little way into my first ride, I thought something was wrong. I couldn't hear the free hub at all when coasting. But everything was fine, its just the quietest free hub I've ever heard.
The rim is very true. All is good!
And I'm thinking the bladed spokes will make up for my non-aero, upright riding position. :)
