edited January 2014 in MTB buying advice
just a quick question has any one seen any good reviews on the mavic crossone wheel sets (26" 15mm thru axel).
I need a new front wheel and was thinking of getting one for the time being as im on a bit of a tight budget at the moment and there only £70+ from chain reactions

the only bad review ive seen was saying it creeks under pressure but he was running a 203 rota i will be running a 180mm rota which im sure will make a bit of a diffrence
falling off doesn't hurt....its the landing that hurts

    I'd be looking here, perhaps even consider a pair?

    I'd wait till you can sell your new forks and get a better set of wheels.

    Cossrides are okay. I've had a pair for 5+ years with no problems.

    But there are probably better wheelsets for the same money - try Merlin

    My Canyon 29er came with them. 9 months in no problems.
