Amer sports is not Mavic. It is Mavic, Salomon, Wilson, Suunto, etc. etc.

No one made that claim. Read it again: "Enve Composites bought by Mavic parent company"

"ENVE proudly manufactures 100% of our carbon fiber wheel products in Ogden, Utah."

are the rims actually made/molded in the USA?

just hope this translates into an exchange of technology, it would be great to see mavic use enve's IP portifolio to build up to date wheels

That really sucks, from my experience, Mavic had easy ordering and customer support back when you got to call the in MA. Now, dealing with Amer is much more difficult and the mployees seemed uneducated in their products.

While Mavic is a hassle to deal with, I am a Salomon shoe die hard. Their warranty for shoes is painless and fast. I had to warranty two different pairs of hiking shoes last year. It was a simple form to fill out with pictures of the failures. New shoes came within a week. So I don't think Amer is the issue with Mavic...I think it is France (Look is equally hard to deal with and not part of Amer).

Salomon is a French company. So the French workers at Salomon are wonderful with warranty problems, and the French workers at Mavic are difficult with warranty problems. Maybe France has nothing to do with anything.
