Mavic Crossmax SL Disc Wheelset

Saturday February 19, 2005

A good lightweight wheelset is one of the best upgrades you can give your bike. Due to gyroscopic and rotational effects, reducing the spinning weight of the wheels of your bike makes a bigger difference in the perceived weight of your bike than reducing the weight anywhere else.

That said, upgrading to the Mavic Crossmax SL Disc Wheelset accomplishes this quite well. Mavic has done an excellent job of making the Crossmax SL Discs both lightweight, and high performance. Check out the review here. Just keep an eye on your wallet.
