So I’ve managed to destroy my rear Ksyrium Elite S rim (after having them 3 days, fresh off the forum)
I’ve been reading mixed things about if the rim is replaceable due to having some tricksy Mavic spoke nipples?! Can the Wheel Building Buddha Hive Mind of confirm if this is true, or a filthy rumor?
Thanks

rear Ksyrium Elite S rim

You can replace the rim, it is available as a spare.
Spoke are expensive though, and Mavic only sells them in packs of 10.

So by the time you get a rim (£75), a pack of spokes (£25), get someone to sort it (£40), you might want to get a used rear replacement wheel.

Another wheel it is then.
Cheers for the info!
