looks a bit photoshoped
because the broken bottom part is too long for the wheel to be 26', as the wheel is already quite near to the crwn of the fork, must have been a pritty hard hit though...

wow.
Not the most greased bearing are we..

i'd would agree as it would be more like a 29inch rim if you put back together

Mavic is proud of shaving around 300g off the 2008 DeeMax's, it looks to me they gain that result mainly by CNC'ing the rim in-between the spoke holes. Well, here is the proof it just does not work.
If you wand a rock solid DH wheelset you are most likely to look around min. 2500g per pair, with wider rims at min. 600g.
I have seen many pictures with broken DeeMax's and DT 3250's (which use EX500/EX 5.1D rims) - these are good for sponsored pros and I would not buy them for DH myself, maybe for AM/light FR if I can afford it.

My perfect, lightweigt wheelset for DH would be Hope Pro 2 hubs on DT EX600/FR 6.1D or Mavic EX721 - these will only weight at around 2200-2300g depending of spokes/nipples you will use.

every rim will break just cause a deemax broke doesn't mean not to buy them. doesnt matter what wheel he had on when he crashed it would have ended up like this ir far worse... Smile
