Strengths:    1st rear I got 6000 miles.

Weaknesses:    Rebuilt rear @LBS (Slippy Pig, PHX.) They misplaced it for 3 weeks, so after 5 weeks to do the job, guess how many miles I rode before it was shot---still can't believe I only rode 500 MILES--yep 500!!! Don't think owner believed me. INSULTING--S.O.L.!!! Ironically, I had just ordered a pair of Aksiums day before, hopefully I'll have better luck with them!

Bottom Line:   
All said.

Strengths:    Stiffness/strength, appearance (white finish).

Weaknesses:    Weight, and the white finish shows dirt.

Bottom Line:   
Stock wheelset on my 2011 Felt F4. Coming from the aero shape Easton Vista (EA50), I was initially concerned about the stiffness and aerodynamics of this set. However, I've put about 500 miles on them over some badly broken asphalt and they have stayed absolutely true. Good acceleration, good bearings.

Strengths:    Lightweight, stiff, smooth bearings, and rather attractive.

Weaknesses:    So far I have not seen any weakness. Time will tell.

Bottom Line:   
I picked these up new for an excellent price. I really want the Ksyrium SL, but I can't afford those at the moment so I jumped on the sale price of the Equipe. After the first ride I was well satisfied. They were very smooth and stiff. Acceleration was quick and I couldn't feel any flex at all. I was weary as I rode over some rather bumpy terrain, but after the ride the rims were still perfectly true. If you are looking for a strong, yet lightweight and smooth roller, I say get these. I will be commuting on these a lot and time will be the best test, but I think they will be just fine.

Strengths:    Stiff, Smooth bearings- nothing compares to cartridge bearings, Design...

Weaknesses:    Made in China?, when did Mavic outsourced their rims; bake-in paint instead of black/grey anodized finish.

Bottom Line:   
This version of Mavic Equipe is made in China; dont know if I got a knock off, but this wheelset is really stiff/responsive; stiffer than OEM Shimano WH-R561 that came w/ my Cannondale CAAD9; the cartridge bearings are really smooth, much like the bearings (also cartrige) of the Mavic 550RD hubs 20 yrs ago; straight laced bladed spokes look great; besides the cheap-looking black paint, this is a nice set of wheelset for recreational riding and century riding....
