But I went for it and they've never disappointed! I'm a heavyweight mtb newbie (5"10" 210lbs) who loves to try aggressive stuff (making me a LOT more prone to crashes etc and I've been through a lot with the Mojo and these wheelset) but they've held on so far! Match made in heaven! Only problem is when the day comes that I have to service them, I don't think Crank Bros have anybody who could service their wheels from where I am (Philippines). If that dreaded day arrives, I wouldn't know what to do with my wheels!

Since I'm not racing and these wheels with my build will still put me at about 23.5 overall...I can't see going with a race wheel that may need more careful riding. Good enough.

Typically though, an XC race wheelset may require a little more care through the rough stuff, but again... I don't have any ride-time on the Cobalt. I can honestly say that the Iodine's are the smoothest-rolling and fastest-engaging wheels I've ridden. Again... haven't ridden Industry9 wheels, but just about everything else.
