Tough Mountain Wheels
Keep the rubber side down
Wheels make the biggest difference in overall speed and stamina on a bike. When you take away rotational weight, your bike is more likely to do what you want it to do when you want (and hopefully how you want, too). The advantage of a complete wheelset is that you know what you are getting. The difficulty of a complete wheelset is that it isn’t always EXACTLY what you want.
Complete wheels we are comfortable with you choosing:
1. Mavic – You just cannot go wrong. Price vs. weight vs. strength, Mavic always is in the top 3 brands. On top of that, if you are someone who destroys wheels, they have the MP3 program which is not insurance, but it kind of is. They’ll fix your wheel if you are using it hard and it breaks; they won’t fix it if you get hit by a bus or jump off of an overpass.
Mavic Mountain Wheel that makes us all hot and bothered – Mavic Crossmax SX
Mavic Cross Rides – Tough and not expensive!
2. Easton – Easton makes tough stuff. Most people are familiar with their bars, stems and handlebars. Well, their wheels are tough and light. And their build system rivals anything we have ever heard of. They do not have as many options as Mavic or Shimano, but the options that they offer are very clearly great choices.
Easton wheel that will make the Front Range yours to conquer: XC ONE DISC – Light and reliable.
