    I know this is a 5 year old post but I just purchased a set of these and am already regretting the purchase after watching this video 😂. I haven’t even had time to ride them, other than around my driveway. The spokes make a loose sounding rattle as well. I have taken them to my local bike shop and they said the spoke tension and wheels look good. Fingers crossed…

    There just boost hubs with loose caps in front or else the rotor would not reach the caliper on the fork. I've got this set and there good.

    Have you made a follow up to this video? I'm curious about your experience with the wheel set. Some people have reported hub issues. Thanks.

      I have to find the video, I thought I put one up but it doesn't look like it. After about 400mi the rear hub exploded on me. Mavic fixed it under warranty, but because of that, I sold them for different wheels.

      Mine have exploded twice on me. After today’s ride, it felt like it is about to go again on me. Time to get them fix and sell them.

    You said this are for enduro and am use. But on Mavic’s site it states this intended for XC and trail! Hence I’m looking to by this set for my XC carbon hardtail bike!

    Does this wheel support any other tubeless tire brand like a Maxxis or Continental?

  • @criaimpacto
    @criaimpacto 6 лет назад +1

    Does the tires are real 2.4 inches or are thinner? I am interested in buying this wheels with the 2.4 tires, but i am afraid that they are to wide for my frame.

    • @Jamesthebikeguy
      @Jamesthebikeguy  6 лет назад

      They are pretty true to size. Check what your bike's manufacturer says for max tire clearance.

    Do u k ow if they make conversion kits for the rear to make it 10x135mm??

    • @MartinTeerly
      @MartinTeerly 5 лет назад

      No. You don't buy boost to convert it to 135 plus 148mm boost hub is wider so 135mm caps wouldn't even fit in your frame

    Hi There. Do this wheels come with the XD drive for Sram or you have to by it separately? Thanks!

    • @Jamesthebikeguy
      @Jamesthebikeguy  7 лет назад

      You can purchase these both as a Sram XD driver or as a Shimano HG. 2 different versions so just select the right ones!

    Do you have to order an adapter to attach XT disc brake rotors?

    • @Jamesthebikeguy
      @Jamesthebikeguy  7 лет назад

      XT Disc Brake rotors come in both center lock and 6 bolt. Since the Mavic wheels are 6 bolt they will work without adapters using the XT 6 Bolt Disc brake rotors

    So this wheels are like a fake boost, right? you only widen the hub to fit a boost fork, but gain no stiffness at all...

    • @Jamesthebikeguy
      @Jamesthebikeguy  7 лет назад

      Fake Boost? These are different hub shells than the non-boost version. They have Endcaps to mate up to the frame properly.

    • @ruineves2606
      @ruineves2606 7 лет назад +4

      Then why not making the hubs mate properly without the spacers, as an entire piece?
      That's strange to me
