Summary: I sold my car in March 2009. I have a fixie with the Mavic front wheel and a low end swift arriv rear wheel. Bladed spokes are great and I jump small curbs and do a little bit of harsh riding with it. Although I'm not a racer I usually ride at least 5 miles a day to get to/from school and then go for 15-20 mile rides about 3x week with top speeds at about 30mph (on a fixie 48/19 gear ratio). I love this front wheel! Got a great buy at REI, looks good in silver, light, great hub, never had any problems with it. Still runs true. Strengths: Looks good, great bargain, bombproof. Weaknesses: none. I wish they made a rear wheel for a fixed gear. Similar Products Used: 2nd road bike, don't remember wheelset on first??
