Anyone ridden both and can comment on any significant differences in performance?
Cheers!
This is centered around the hubs more than rims.
My mate has both, CK's on his Orbea and Mavic CM ST's on his Trance. The ST's have been back to mavic for a new rear hub as the hub pawls completly disintergrated. Also a few spokes have popped out a couple of times on the ST's, he is a heavy rider but as you would expect the CK's are faultless.
If you can get the CK's i'd go for them.
Me, I ride DT Swiss wich have also been faultless.
Bugger, bloody Mavic reliability and after sales are holding me off from buying a set of SX's.
Not really that many good reviews out there at the moment for Mavic wheel sets, but maybe the only people who end up writing a review are those that are having problem's.
So money no question, apart from the SX's. what would be the best option for a tubeless wheel set that can run wide'ish tyres, 2.3's?
I would probably go for a set of DT Swiss EX1750's at 28mm rim width and 1750g per pair I don't think many other "Off the shelf" units will beat them. And to be fair DT's reliability is second to none.
i run a pair of CK and 819's ........... the hubs are 6 years old, no problems with the quarterly clean & lube service and the rims are 3 years old and still holding - tyre choice is critical for me however......
mate has crossmax sx and freehub / bearings / spokes etc have given him issues / problems in less than 12 months.........
go figure.....
