Guys,

I have managed to sideline my Mavic '04 deemax rear hub as it came apart when i was trying to tighten my cassete and I can't but it back together properly.:huh: I don't have time to send it to Mavic as I am going to Whistler in a few weeks. I still have a front deemax which I really like. I will be either getting a new rear built with an 823 rim (this will likely cost me under $200) or a set of Azonic Outlaws. I am running Maxxis High Roller LUST tires as tubeless and I really like the ease of the UST rims.

The bike is a Bottlerocket and I do a lot of rough trail riding, dirt jumping and some DH with decent sized drops so the rear needs to be able to hold up.

What has been your experience with Outlaws and UST tires? Would you go with just the new rear wheel or would you get a whole new wheelset for just a bit more, assuming that the tubeless tires will seat fairly easily on the Outlaws?

Thanks for the help.:banana:
