Weaknesses: I have had 10 flats this year, thinking it was my tires and tubes. Find out that it is the eyelet where the valve stem goes keeps punctering the tube right at the stem. Going tonight to buy some rim tape and cut out a doughnut and double tape the eyeletBottom Line: Overall its a great rim, looks nice with my Black and Blue Trek. Nothging fancy but but cheap either. Like others have said, it does its job.

Strengths: Has the name Mavic on it, I accidentally steped on it close to the end with no noticeable truing defectsWeaknesses: low grade metal, very heavyBottom Line: Mediocre heavy rims, fine for short runs i guess but not racing. Hit a pothole when my crappy maxxis tire gave out, and the rim was bent, got 2000 mies out of them, but really there's better stuff out there from maxxis themselves

Strengths: Riding New England rough roads... they seem to be able to take the treatment. Only had to have then trued twice in almost 3000 miles. have also had to replace a few spokes.Weaknesses: Heavy. Costing a fortune in replacement tubes, interrupted and missed rides, and frustrattion if they really are the source of the flats.Bottom Line: CXP 22s came on the bike. As others have said, they have been generally solid (but heavy) wheels. Believe I have found a major flaw others have not mentioned though... in that the irregularity and imperfection in the welded seem I believe is responsible for an excessive amount of flats! Litterally have had 5 flats happen this year happen while the bike is hanging beteen rides, wether i installed or the LBS did it. No other reason for the issue, have checked and even replaced tires. Couple of weeks ago a new riding buddy said he had the same problem a few years back with the same wheelset, whch turned me onto looking closely at them.

Bottom Line: These came on the bike. After 600 miles, I could feel a 'surging' vibration when holding the front fork and spinning the tire while the bike was up on the stand. Also a lesser vibration on the rear wheel.
Took the bike back to my local LBS. The best wheel guy in the shop confirmed the vibration, said "They might have been tight from the factory." He rebuilt both hubs, replacing cones on the front.
400 miles later, the front wheel does not spin as freely as it did after the rebuild.
Now what? I paid 2.2+K for the bike and I love it. I should be satisfied with the hubs, OK?
I'll zap Mavic and copy the LBS.

Bottom Line: These black painted rims and spokes came with the bike, both front and back. Most of the spokes on the front are flaking paint and are rusting. I've never had painted spokes before. Is this normal?
