ugosantalucia-
the XM 819 and 821 are UST
Looking at mavic.com today, it also seems that those nice FORE drilled UST rims have been dropped in favour of a bunch of new wider but otherwise inferior rims. Anybody wanting to build some UST wheels might want to get on it now while stocks last

Sure? I am looking at google results of 421 and found this (scroll down):
Now I will need to call them up and confirm if they are the same rims ..
Also this:
Then these two contradictory results ..

Mavic are such cunts for not documenting things properly.

Thats interesting.
I am thinking about converting missus' bike to 650b taking advantage of the Superstar sale. There are 2 choices, a UST Mavic 421 or Stan's Arch. The first one comes to £99 and the other one £125 .. you reckon UST is better if I am going tubeless? Will be using either Maxxis Refuse 50c or Panaracer Gravel King 1.75" depending on the clearance.
