Had a pair for about a month with no issues so far. Th cassette free-hub is a little noisey compared to my previous XT hubs, but something you get used too. Make sure that you get the spacer for the cassette when you get the wheels, for some reason the Mavic free-hub is slightly wider than the Shimano one, you can put the cassette on but it will flop around like a floppy thing that has a special reason to be floppy! Bit of a struggle to seat the tyres correctly, but the use of a track-pump and an indecent pressure eventually got them sitting in the right place.

Got some 2nd hand off here a little while ago. Look great, nice n light and all bearings running smooth (had to regrease the front). Transformed my Handjob.

Good wheels, have had a set for 18 months or so and done a lot of miles on them with few issues. Tubeless works well, some tyres are easier than others but it's a good system on a wheel that's not too heavy.

Replaced the freehub recently, but in all fairness it's lasted longer than other ones I've used in the past so definitely not complaining.
