Right, I have a dilemma lol, I go to Scotland day after tomorrow and my front wheel has just died. Now, I went to Leisure Lakes and the only wheels they have that are any good are the 08 mavic deetrax and the 05 mavic deemax (silver ones), I don't have time to get a custom built one or i would consider that. Never been to Scotland and I ain't calling it off cos I can't wait  . I've heard some bad reviews about the hubs so was thinking I would get a pro 2 hub on whichever wheel when I get back from Scotland. So basically, which rim is better?? Cheers

Well if you're going to be building the Pro 2 hub onto one of the rims then that rules out the Deemaxs completely as they are 28 hole rims. Pretty sure the Deetrax rim is a glammed up 325 rim so if you were thinking of ditching the hub and building it back up with a Pro 2, then Deetrax it is then.

Having said that, my front Deemax wheel was spot on, it was just the rear I had issues with, like the freehub in particular...

Hope that helps!

im sure leasure lakes will have somthing built up or will do it the same day if they dont

ive had a set off deetrax , they were great , fairly light and bloody strong .

they have the same hubs as the deemax 

09 deemax's look wicked!

Sorry i admit i didnt read it

Yeh Bob, my Deemaxs were the Silver 05 ones, good set of wheels apart from the rear freehub (but that doesn't apply to you if you're just getting the front!) Also, how much are they wanting for both wheels?

well are you wanting to go tubeless ? you can with the deemax but not with the deetrax .
