upgrade to Mavic Crossride wheels?

Anonymous

Hello

I am currently using Alex XCR 100D with Shimano Deore hubs on my mtb, sometime next year I would like to upgrade to possible Mavic Crossride UB/Disc wheels which they came second in the wheels test out of 19 wheels in August mag, issue 99, they cost £170 for pair and weight is 1971g.

Good move to upgrade or the wheels I have is good enough?

Thanks

Your wheels are not too bad - to see an appreciable difference you need better than the Crossride. The XCR is as light as the Mavic X717, a good rim.

Crossrides can be got cheaper than that though.

Tell them to send one to me for free and I'll measure it ;-)

Cheers supersonic for the advice, I guess I will hang on my wheels now.

Thanks

I thought I was being thick when I read this and failed to understand what you were on about earlier

Still, I suppose you are allowed to make the odd mistake with 47,000+ posts behind you
