Jul 9, 2002 3:18 PM | | Hello, i was wondering what you guys think of the mavic heliums? I was thinking of getting a pair because i want something light weight and cheap. I can get a pay for about 350. How do they hold up? I really just want to use them as like a climbing/race wheel only and i only weight about 115 lbs so weight shouldn't be a problem. Lemme know what you guys think of them. Thanks |
