I wondered if any of you ever experienced those wheels for 'cross. I was thinking of those two models: Orion II and Circuit , for their availabilityat my LBS. Tell me wath you think plz...
And please don't tell me to go with mavics or any other brand I want info concerning the velomax! thx for all.
I have Circuit Comps on my bike and like them a lot. 5500 miles without any tweaking and they still run true. Fairly light, stiff, and a good value.
Did have a minor problem with the front bearings due to rain....water intrusion into the "sealed" cartridge bearings after a heavy rain ride. Was able to pull up the little seal rings on the bearings to flush and relube, but the bearings don't seem quite as smooth now.
Velomax tech support advised to pull back the end caps and removed any water droplets that got past them into the bearings before they can cause rust. Easy enough to do, but might not be something you want to mess with often.
Don't know anything about cyclocross, but if water and mud is involved, believe I'd want a hub with real contact seals (eg Shimano or Campy).
