Mavic wheels

Will these wheels http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=58590 fit a giant defy 3.5 without having to change the groupset or rear cassette??

Edit: and I know it should be mavic wheels. Spell predict on phone is beyond stupid

They will fit. You may have to tune the derailler a smidgen but most likely not. I swap between Shimano wheels and Aksiums alot and don't have to touch a thing.

Eggs sell ant!! Thanks for the info peter. I'm guessing crc will take em back if they don't fit??

petethedrummer

They will, but you won't need to return them. There's loads of us on the forum with Aksiums on a myriad of different bikes.

SLightly different lockring removal tool but the chain whip is kinda important.
