I have a set of Mavic Module E's with Shimano hubs
that are my dedicated switch and ride rims. By this I
mean, the minute I get another project bike with
flats, or bent rims, or what have you, I move the
Mavics from whatever they are on to the new project
bike and start riding. They have been on most of the
bikes I own at one time or another and they are what I
use for my daily rider. I like them alot. And I weigh
an unsvelt 225. Alright, I'm trying to get back to
190. Anyway, they seem touch as nails to me, but I'm
not a long rider.
