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.
