Dangerous to get into a debate with you
No danger here, I'm aware of the problem with FTS freehubs and have pointed it out on here before. Everything is a compromise; for some users the FTS problem is too much, but for many more it's a price worth paying for the desirable attributes of some Mavic wheels.

Dangerous to get into a debate with you, but the problem with some Mavics is the fact they use a bushing not a bearing in the freehub. I have personally had two sets (and know of at lease two other people) that have developed the Mavic scream of death. It's pretty scary when the freehub decides to lock up at speed and the chain backs up.
