Yeah same, deemax aren't really jump rims, secondly the spoking is poor. EX721 is much better.

What are you supporting that comment on? Deemax wheels are used on the entire whistler rental fleet... by dh racers/freeriders and street riders all over the world. They are super light.... tubless compatible and you have the balls to say that it is not a good jump rim? I don't get it. There is almost zero diffrence in the dee max and the 721 as far as technology and construction go. Have you ever ridden a 721... 729... 321...521... dee max any of them?

the hubs are what the problem is.

why spend 1500+ on a wheelset like this when you can buy brand new 823's and build them to ANYT hub you want.

dumb idea to have deemax's.

I ride 721's on this years RMX and they are awsome. They handle coming up short and bringing whips too far out and not bringing them back in.

Deemax hubs/spokes are garbage. You can back this up by asking racers how often they have to do maintenance on there hubs/true there wheels. They are a race rim, not a DJ rim. 823s are the exact same hoop as the deemax with the exception that you can build them up on any hub you want like a hadley or king and make them stronger. Lets not forget they arent yellow. OH NO Cry Not only is the hadley/king + 823 a stronger combination, but also cheaper. In my opinion, most people just get deemax cause they are yellow... Have you ever ridden a 721, 729, 321, 521?

I'm not putting your bike down, just having a discussion with this person here about deemax. Its a nice bike, though it was pretty cocky of you to put nicest one ever. I personally wouldnt own deemax but at that price, what the hell.

I am currently running 729's on my hardtail and 721's on my fully. I have owned dee max's and I never once had any problem with them... I would buy them again in a heart beat. All I was asking was for that one person to back up his statement with more then what he said.

For the record I love the bike. Great frame great build up, not feelin the minty freshness but still a great bike!
