    Hello,

    Are there big differences between the Mavic X517 and X618 rims? The lower = weight on the 517 rim
    sound good, but are those few grams worth it (is the = 618 rim much stronger)?

    Best regards, Tobias L

    The 517 is a single eyelet rim which is very prone to cracking around the spoke holes. I've had a
    couple go on me and know of a myriad others. Avoid.

    The 618 is double eyeletted and seems much better - so much so that JD likes them. Wow.
