i have a giant STP frame with quick realease drop outs. would i be able to run a 2007 mavic deetrax rear wheel?
if not which rims do mavic do that are about 600g and really strong, light freeride kind of thing? obviously i don't mind going lighter, as long as it doesn't compromise strength
if possible i want my next rims to be mavic as my LBS (where i work) supply them

unfortunatly not
i was looking to put them on my gaint reign, but cant remeber exactly what the spacing was but it wasnt for standard qr dropouts. i fitted sun singletrack wheels instead.0 -
hmm damn it'll be a custom job then, i hate waiting for wheels to be built upI took falling off bikes...and turned it into an art!0

Mavix EX 721s instead?"Melancholy is incompatible with bicycling." ~James E. Starrs0

I'd go for 721 on pro II or xt, excellent strength and low weight.
And get them from merlin[/list]0 -
i'll have a look at 721's and i know merlin are good wheel builders but i've got a friend who'll build them for me for free and i've never seen a wheel he's built perform any less than superblyI took falling off bikes...and turned it into an art!0

Mavic Deetraks come with a 135 x 10mm axle. So unless your STP has 150 dropout spacing (sorry i dont knwo if it has or ntot) they will fit0

what the 10mm bolted axle will work?
i was in two minds coz it looks like it would but its talked about like a whole other axle standerdI took falling off bikes...and turned it into an art!0 -
sory for the somewhat late reply. yes the bolted axle will work fine.
I think the confusion is similar to the when the saint bolted 10mm setups came out, people imagine you require special dropotus, when the work with conventional dropouts0 -
oh great! thanks thats my new back wheel than!I took falling off bikes...and turned it into an art!0

If you work in a shop that's a Mavic dealer, surely they'd have all the relevant tech docs to be able to tell you that it would fit.
Or access to the website, or they could ring Chicken & sons, or Garry at Mavic.
For reference though, Deetraks is a Deemax hub in black, with a 729 rim.
The Deemax 135mm QR rear conversion kit could be fitted to the hub too.It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.0
