I missed the part where he explains why so many of these wheels are failing.

[jjmnky]

I think what he is saying is, "thank all you cyclists who bought these crap wheels and did the crash testing for us."

"reliable"

I laughed when he said that word. Or the French equivalent, I guess.

The new ones with the stripes on the spokes are amazingly good :)

The new ones with stripes on the spokes are supposed to be OK

if this wheel is really strong then why is it when i check one time from an amateur rider having this similar model his rear wheel is wobbling not aligned anymore?

considering his using it only for normal riding??

i really did'nt expect that to see for the price of that wheel..

They're good wheels, some failed, but they fixed the problem with the uni-directional carbon fiber spokes. Also, lots of high performance bicycle components have rider weight limits. But some people just tend to ignore those just to have the latest and greatest equipment.

I have used the R-Sys wheels for 3 seasons, broken only one spoke in a crash

I look forward to the day that Mavic goes out of business!
