What're people's thought's on these wheels? Bargain at that price or?

Good wheels for the price. You can get lighter and stiffer but the bearings on my front crossride are still sweet after 7 years. You will have to take into account they are Centre lock though, you will need centre lock discs or adaptors so not quite as cheap as they seem at first.

So looking at £150 for everything... Including Adapters... Still worth it?

You after a 15mm front axle?

Aye mate

Seems a good price, but I'd just get new rotors rather than adaptors.

Or these:

The Mavic Cross Rides use a bladed spoke. Bit of a pain when truing. No real issue, I just use an adjustable wrench (shifting spanner) with a little kitchen towel inside to protect the paint. Like I said, no big deal, but does make the job a little more fiddly.

To be ordered sounds a bit "we will take your money and order them and send them when they arrive on the next boat from China". It might mean something else in German but unless your prepared for a wait I wouldnt personally.

Gone ahead and bought a DT Swiss AM 1900 wheelset, Cheap as chips and barely used so thought I may aswell lol.

Not strictly true mate as i have these wheels on my P7 and they are 6 bolt versions. Defiantly worth the money though and a good starting point for a light pair of rims

Don't know much about cross rides, but I have a pair of xm317's and they are as true as the day I bought them.
