The company changed it's name to Craxis. JP They will be reimbursed if they do as the owner of the company will come in here to reassure us. There was a bad batch but I should think they have sort it through.

I've read probably two or three threads where Axis rims cracked.

Mine are not cracked yet and I've had them for about 3 months.

But then again I haven't installed them yet either

Axis Hiros I love mine to death however I did hit a large metal object in the freeway and caused my rear wheel to break apart as shown below. I am not blaming the wheel structure at all whatever I ran over would probally have done damage to any wheel and the Hiros have held up very well so far.....I'd say get them


Now this is how they are supposed to look like on a Z

That looks like a super brittle fracture, even for a wheel that had a strong impact. Maybe that batch of wheels that had cracking issues was not heat treated correctly, or wasn't the correct microstructure?
