Mavic MA3

As you can probably guess by my post on BrokenBikeParts, I’m not a huge fan of Mavic MA3s. Cracks developed around the eyelets after just 5,000 or 6,000 miles, which apparently is pretty typical for these budget rims (and I don’t think it was the result of too much spoke tension). But this is the first time I’ve had an issue with a Mavic product in over 25 years, so I’m willing to keep buying their stuff. You can see the pics of the cracks at BrokenBikeParts.com
