but which quick releases are you going use with them? makes a HUGE difference as to the stiffness of the wheel

Best you request a fixed price offer from Al before he relists them then.

Interesting that people are so negative about the Crossmax SLR's. The ones ive ridden and friends that have them haven't had any issues - and we aren't lightweight or easy on machinery. Watching most of the national series this year the only broken wheel i saw was in Rotovegas and it was a lightweight Stans rim - snapped in half. but again no wheel is bullet proof against hitting things at speed. I just thought they were a pretty bullet proof wheel, tho pricey.

They don't survive long in Canterbury - we have real rocks on our trails

I think that they are not the best value for money. You can get a decent hand built wheel that is the same weight, but more durable and has better freehub engagement for about half the price. Then if you break a spoke it is $2 instead of $30 to replace etc etc.
They look flash and they work ok... but I would not have even tried a pair if they had not been part of the build of a bike I bought.

Up date.. I went for this combo if you are interested. Thanks for the advice
