Mavic Cross Ride Mountain Bike Wheels

I just picked up a set of these wheels for my Salsa hard tail.  The current WTB Speed Discs that I had on there have been designated as my winter studded set.  This wheel set is by no means a high end one as far as Mavic is concerned but after reading many complimentary reviews I had to check these out for myself.  Once I opened the box from REI, where I purchased them, I was blown away at the quality feel and relative light weight for a $200+ set of mountain bike wheels.  If they ride as good as they look and photograph I will be a happy camper.  I also just received a set of Avid G3 Clean Sweep Rotors, as soon as tires and rotors are mounted later today the true test will happen on the trails.
