Quality Wheels

Pavement Series 5 Deore LX, Mavic A319 Silver

I've been running this wheelset for a few months on my touring bicycle (my only bike - I do everything on it), and am very, very happy with it. The wheels came perfectly trued, and have given me many trouble free miles. While not a racing wheelset, I have no problem getting these up to speed, and I do like to ride fast. I feel this is what a wheelset should be - strong, versatile, and reliable. I chose this wheelset over the XT hub mavic 719 set after doing as much research as I could and reading many bad reviews and stories about the new XT hubs (The new XT 770 hubs are radically different from earlier versions of the XT). I am totally satisfied with the performance of this wheelset and the LX hubs. Be warned that shimano hubs often come slightly maladjusted (often too tight). Both of my hubs came slightly tight. I loosened them slightly, and everything is perfect. I would gladly purchase this wheelset again if I needed new wheels.
