of those two I would go dee-max, due to the fact that they are lighter and still quite strong. I have cracked a few mtxs in my day.

I personaly would go for mavic 721s/729s with a Hope hub or something similar. I think that Deemax wheels are ridiculously overpriced for what they are.

i´d say mavic deemax. -> are lighter and the spoketension is on every spoke exatly the same waht makes them very stiff, and mavic gives u a warranty.

MTX's are fine, they are strong and will hold up great if they were built well and your not a total hack.

Why waste money when you don't have to?

I love my mtx's, they are light and have held up nicely. Plus im running them tubeless now. 28 psi is such a huge luxury.
