Got a complete trashed MAVIC ELLIPSE front RIM.
Anyone an idea where I can get a new RIM with 20 holes so I can de-and re-spoke the wheel?
Preferable a low flange black RIM.
Do MAVIC sells these seperatly somewhere?

Cheers

WTF is a low flange rim?

You can probably reuse spokes if you get a kinlin xr-300.

Talk to "behind the Bikeshed" in Andover...they do import Mavic spares from France when they're not available in the UK. Be prepared for a big bill, as these rims are not cheap

I've checked some dealers and importers, it's too expensive, almost the cost of a complete front wheel so pretty ridiculous. will try to buy a 20 spoke rim somewhere and see if that works..

typical Mavic, charging over the odds for something so banal. Try Kinlin XR 300/Halo Mercury, they are 30 mm deep like the Ellipse and should have a close enough ERD

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
