Well, shortly after I wrote this post my son's rear Havoc fell apart. It got a hit to the rear wheel, but the rim cracked and cratered to the point of being unrideable. He is only 100 lbs, and the rear tire did not pinch flat at all, so it seems the wheel was over tensioned. I am not sure how this will all pan out. Lets see how Easton handles this.

My son has run these wheels for two months, and while that is only a short while, he has certainly put them through some abuse. As we were driving home from yesterday's training (Neuchatel - ahhh, found the "secret" DH trail), I mentioned to him how well I thought the Havocs were built and how durable they seemed for the light weight.
To add to this: I build all of my own wheels. I have done this for twenty years, and was trained by a top wheel builder. This is the first set of prebuilt wheels I have ever purchased. This is, by far, the best tensioned and built set of wheels I have seen. We will have to see how the hubs hold up, but In any case, this is a very good wheel set which I sense will be with us a long time.

That is just because it was your first time. All of the iXS races are run very smooth with few surprises. If you survived that race, you will know what to do at the next race - which by the way, is open for registration.

Good job man! We looked for you, but it was a crazy-hectic weekend for us with Rookies Cup and Scott 4X Challenge.
