Hi wanting to buy new set of wheels for my Giant trance x 29er, i havent a massive budget but like the look of the mavic crossrides, i imagine alot of riders use these but does anyone use them tubeless if so what method did they use ?? Also seen the new DT swiss M1900 wheel set come tubeless ready and for the same cash would these be a better buy

Anyway let me know your opinions and thoughts had 29er xt before and loved the easy of the UST rims.

    That's not the same price - I got my Crossrides recently for £120.

    I have no idea what's going on here.

    I've got the 26" version but surely 29ers aren't £60 more?

    Oh - I must have got them on special offer then :(

    They're decent wheels but I wouldn't pay £180 for them!

    I paid £120 for them so paying half again for a budget wheelset is not a good idea in my opinion. I haven't looked around that price range but I'm sure you can get better wheels for that price.

  • Pathway came on my Canyon Nerve 29er and I have them set up tubeless. I used a Stans kit and all they needed was a few runs of yellow tape and then the rubber strip. There was some slime coming through the weld at first but now it is all sealed they are perfect.
