Mavic Ksyrium Wheels

[Fifelad]

I believe these are compatible with normal clincher and tubular tyres, however there are conflicting reports that they can’t take clinchers ? Can anyone confirm who uses them ?

Using Rubino Pros with mine.

I guess that’s answered the question 😄

I think Mavic maybe try and sell the idea that they are best with their own tyres but from any googling I have done, it appears there is no necessity for this.

If you haven’t bought them yet, Merlin cycles have an extra 10% off.

I know buddy, but most are unsurprisingly sold out ! 🤷‍♂️😂

Top tip. Source a few spokes, especially the different lengths for the rear wheel. They can be a bugger to find when you do a spoke. Of course, if you have spares, you’ll not need them.

compatible with clinchers, but not with tubular tyres (tubs) which is I think what yoiu meant

 

[vickster]

Presumably he means tubeless?

There are two versions one for clincher tyres and one for tubeless tyres using mavics own ust system - technically the latter restricts tyre choice to the Mavic's own tubeless tyres.

Good wheels, Rubbish tyres.

My Ribble came with them and I took them off and pjt Rubino Pros on instead. The Mavic tyres were a bugger to remove they were so tight.

i rode with some Mavic tyres on hire bike - I was just manoeuvring out of the gate of the hire depot and the rear punctured.

The front punctured about half way round a 45mile route. I had to change that tube myself

I resolved never to buy a Mavic tyre.

Just for balance I had some Mavic tyres on my Kysriums and found them excellent.

I found Mavic tyres ok for a month or so, then it was puncture after puncture.
