Description
Entry level at Mavic means full quality, durability and performance. The QRM bearings are replaceable and the straight pull spokes are stronger than J bent spokes. The new Crossride UB benefits from a narrower and lighter rim for increased responsiveness.
Self Lock - The special shape of the spoke end, on the thread, makes it impossible to loosen. The spoke stays tightly screwed into the nipple, no tension loss is occurring. As a benefit, the wheel keeps its original roundness for a long time, and does not get out of true.
QRM - Sealed cartridge bearings that are serviceable, mounted on a special axle featuring a "bearing support ring" to adjust play.
H2 Hammer Hardening - Reinforcement of the area around each nipple hole by hammering to compress the material of this sensitive zone. The rim can be eyeleted on top to even more improve resistance.
FTS-X - Force Transfer X - The ‘FTS Nose’ is an extension of the hub body that goes inside the freewheel. The contact zone between the pawl and the FTS Nose is reinforced by 2 stainless steel inserts, which allows for manufacturing all aluminium, mono-piece hub body. The pawls are centered exactly in the middle of the freewheel body, for a direct power transmission. The FTS-X version features 2 new pawls made of harder steel, a new low friction v-seal and new axle end screw with dry thread lock prep.
UB Control - Usiné Brut Control - The sidewalls of the rim are milled with a diamond point on a digitally controlled machine after assembly and anodization,

A very nice pair of wheels if you consider the price tag. Now 'Made in Romania' and not France but does that really make a difference?! A small weight saving due to the 17mm rims (not 19mm like the old ones) but possibly less strength as a result. For the cash, the best v-brake specific wheels available IMO (or not available as is often the case with such high demand and poor supply). If these wheels are 'in stock' - buy them!
Not too happy about these wheels. Freehub body is a piece of junk, compeltely busted after a year of mild XC. Wheels are soggy and feel like you suddenly fall over in tight corners. They're still straight though, so kudos for that and the look good as well. But please, save up for something handbuilt, you can get a set at CRC for a an extra €100,- or so. Especially when you weigh more than 75 kg these are not for you...
