• Why can't they just admit that no one wants their hubs and spokes and sell exalith-coated, wider open pro's and clean up. Despite lasting longer, they would surely still make more money as everyone and their dog would have them, no?

    the rims on cx-rays and some r45's would be a killer wheelset.

    My sentimental exactly.

    However I do like their recent carbon wheelset that's 17mm internal and have alu insert to reduce risk of overheating, that's something I can get behind, no more silly 13mm internal width.

    It will be disc brakes for everything pretty soon, I can't see much point in anybody launching a new line of high-end rim-brake product. Also, tubeless will become ubiquitous on good quality bikes. XM819 in road-oriented drillings would be my first choice for a new Mavic rim.
