I have the Crossmax Disk SL UST's. My experience with them
are very different from the other replies here. I've found
them to be very light, fast, and strong. Over the past 15
months mine have taken an incredible amount of abuse between
over 25 XC races, a couple CX races, and well over 6000
miles of recreational & training riding including Moab,
Fruita, NorCal (Tahoe trails like Northstar, Mr Toads,
Flumes, and more; Napa Valley, Santa Cruz, Humboldt, etc).
In that time, I've broken one spoke, and that was because of
a large branch which was caught in my wheel during a race at
Lake Sonoma. I've only had to have them trued once - when I
replaced the broken spoke. Although now, 7 months later, I
again need to true them.
Other than my newest set of wheels recently built up (Chris
King hubs, Mavic 717 rims) they are hands down the best
wheel set I've owned. I've yet to ride my new CK/Mavic
wheels... so whether they are superior, I cannot yet say.
But I look forward to testing them out.
As far as being non-standard..? They are also the easiest
wheelset I've had to maintain and require no special tools
(unlike the $150 Chris King hub tools set).
All in all, I have absolutely no complaints. Not a one. A
great wheel set.
