Like lots of people, I had a set of 50/50 pedals. I repeatedly beat them down and they survived better than most. I bought a headset for my mk3 V10. Low stack height was the buzzword, it fell to pieces the first time you removed the fork. I was working @ Different Bikes at the time and seeing all the issues (those wheels! Urgh!) but man they had pretty packaging...
Fast forward to now, I have a set of synthesis carbon wheels on my ebike with 2000km of mostly heavy hitting dh. I've torn tyres, I've put the derailleur through the spokes, I've bottomed out rims on all manner of rocks with and without inserts and I've even ridden home on a flat tyre on a few occasions. No issues. Not one.
I can't say enough about the quality of the rim but also the wheel build! When I registered the wheels with them I had a brief email interaction with someone who you could tell was genuine about their passion for the product and for me as a customer. I plan to hold on to these wheels for years, I'm that impressed by them. Congratulations Crank Bros, you've won me back as a customer.
