WOW you sound alittle bit jealous! I'll be selling my imperial in January when my DOC comes in if you want one tooMtbikingKing said:
.what do you got on your imp, and yeah the d.o.c. definitly looks sick!
mavics are always solid, sun MTX's have a good history of not breaking, the trail pimps are heavy but really money$$$ (as in good)
congrats on the imperial.....i dream of owning one

mtx sucks bent mine in two rides because my bike fell off a 5 foot high ladder I have had a set of mavics for 2 years and have only trued them 1 time no kidding. same kind of spokes on both the sun wheels and the mavics. sun is more affordable but if you buy the mavics you will not replace them.
I have 729s on my Imp and I think it was a little overkill. The wheelset was orginally bought to go on a DH rig that I haven't got yet. I would say 721s would be a better fit for urban and DJ. I would also suggest 26" over 24". One of the cats on this board had his set up on 24s and I really disliked the way it felt compared to mine. Hope this helps
as many other members on here will tell you, atomlab has a shady reputation for the worst customer service and not so up-to-par products. the wheels (speaking from personal experience) are junk. heavy, flatspot easily, started to separate at the seams. And, no reply from atomlab about a warranty on the seam thing. Now, ive been on azonic outlaws (the wheelset) for about 6 months and i love them. only had to true them twice. No flat spots, excellent wheelset for just about anything. reasonably priced, too. I paid $270 for the wheelset at wheelworld.com
