    I do a 30km round commute every day to college and my current wheels can t that the rough roads around Dublin. If anyone has a decent set of Mavic Aksiums they want to part with p.m.
    Also I have a shimano groupset.

    Cheers

    I bought a pair of these last week and after 100km the front wheel is already out of shape. Unbelievable pile of crap.

    I ride them on my xCross bike and have no problems with them at all. Completely true even after racing a few times this winter.

    These wheels seem very hit and miss. Some people swear by them but a friend of mine bought an Aksium front wheel at Christmas and had done barely 500km before it was completely knocked out of shape.
