I put a set of these in my gravel bike last year - nothing but good things to say about these - excellent ride quality, robust and easy to service hubs. Tubeless performance is excellent - tyre fitment is easy, tyres seal well and lose pressure less than taped rims.

I always stays until the end for the "general madness" section of the video.😊

Tuesday the dog has zero manners.

[@festerofest4374]

Good doggies!

[@lazlo2511]

Amazing… I remember a day when, MAVIC was the complete benchmark for wheels! You had others like Wolber ( remember them?).. but MAVIC was streets ahead in innovation. Nice to see they still pushing boundaries in an almost over saturated spinning market.

[@GravelCyclist]

And that beautiful 631 Starfish Crankset, and completely rebuildable derailleurs.

[@KoenMiseur]

Hope they are made better than the older hooked once, it came on a bike of me but where the rim was welded together was so badly done I couldn't seal it.

[@ianthedondaws7559]

Definitely want a look at the zap groupset 👍🙏

[@FisherFAST]

Which tire and size do you plan on testing these with? Sounds like the 25IW would be a great match to some 40c tires.

[@fotografamos4083]

Hope the spokes are better than in the past. I've had (and still have) Mavic alloy wheels and the spokes keep rusting over and over again. Also, the proprietary spokes are a nuisance.

[@GravelCyclist]

I think more annoying are the proprietary nipples.

[@cannon1156]

I thought the Mavic groupset was Mektronic or was that a later version?

[@GravelCyclist]

Mektronik came after Zap.

First in!

Damn 😅

[@GravelCyclist]

No prize I am afraid.

@@GravelCyclist nope but always wanted to do just once 😂

lightcarbon will get you 250 grams lighter for the same price

[@GravelCyclist]

Dafuq is light carbon? $530 dodgy carbon wheels?

[@zimmejoc]

@@GravelCyclist get a set and try it out 🤣I've seen other cheap carbon wheel reviews and the wheels did pretty good on some pretty chunky stuff.

[@GravelCyclist]

Don't see myself forking $530 on bollocks, noting personal. Life's too short to ride cheap $hit carbon wheels, or drive boring cars.

[@IvanMalechko]

Hookless 🤔

[@GravelCyclist]

Review coming later, keep the pressure lower if you're thinking of roadie 32mm tyres, etc.

[@dominicbritt]

Low pressure, hookless like MTBs have used for years…

[@GravelCyclist]

@@dominicbritt Remember, a lot of roadie types have a tough time accepting low pressure as viable, especially on a hookless rim. Talking about 45ish psi with 700c x 32mm, sublime ride.

[@IvanMalechko]

I don’t know, maybe I’m getting older and more suspicious of changes in cycling, like some people were when disc brakes came to road and cyclocross :). Also, I personally witnessed a guy in front of me lose some pressure and sealant (burped apparently) on a tight turn while riding hookless ZIPPs. Luckily, the tire didn’t come off completely, and he was even able to finish the ride on a half deflated tire. Considering that Mavic has been in the business for so many years, I hope they know what they are doing.
