So, which is which? I know Mavic didn't re-tool everything, probably just
changed the model numbers for some stupid reason!

The so-called new "Crossland" looks just like the Crosslink, did which
happened to look just like its earlier incarnation, the Crossride.
Which isn't a bad wheel, btw, I have one on the front of my red bike.
But it takes a phd with continuing ed to keep up with those frogs, anyway.

When I ordered my new XM819 UST rims I received the old X3.1 UST rim. I
called the dealer and they assured me it was the same rim.

Looks like EX 729 is the new rim for us. ;^)

But why won't Mavic put the ERD on their website?!!

Maybe they use an object oriented approch?

Check www.pricepoint.com. They list the 2004 rims and the rims they
replaced.

Someone must not have told Pricepoint that. They sure seem to be
discounting the pre-2004 models.

Mavic now has a no questions asked, replacement on
their highend rims.

Mavic's MP3 covers their "highend" wheels, and it is far from "no
questions asked." Not to mention that you have to buy the "Mavic
product protection plan" at the time that you purchase the wheel.

The "warranty" does not cover "normal wear and tear or damage
resulting from shipment,storage, failure to follow the user's guide
and/or recommendations for use, improper assembly or assembly with
incompatible products, poor maintenance, misuse, modification or
alteration of the product."

More hype from Idoux and Chanel

I had a spoke pull out of my rear Crossmax (XL), and took it back to the
place I bought it. Guy fixed it while I waited, no charge.

No problems since, not even minor truing...

Oh, mine sort of "popped out", where the nub fits the slot at the hub. (Hub
nub!)

Thought the spoke had broke (just keeping with tone here), but it hadn't.
