• I've got a pair of old (screw on) Campagnolo 36 hole record hubs on Nisi Solidal tub rims. The rear doesn't stay true very long after being rebuilt, so looking for new rims. Recommendations for 36h clincher and tubular box section rims? Mavic Open Pro tubular (rebranded Reflex) seem to be the only choice for tubular now?

    Also recommendation for someone who I could send the hubs to and build the wheels, should I choose not to myself.

  • In case you want to keep it vintage... I have a set of Mavic Monthly Route rims, 36h. They look virtually untouched/new. Currently laced to a set of Maillard hubs (same shape as Campagnolo hubs).

    The rims are this model:

    If you are keen on the rims I would happily sell you the rims or wheelset, or build the rims onto your Campagnolo hubs. PM me if this is interesting.

  • You might find Ambrosio Nemesis in 36h on eBay. Rarer, but less fashionable, so may not be so pricey. King of tubs.

    Velocity Major Tom are the other more modern, high quality, tubular rim. Apparently they do come in 36h but you might be hard pressed to find them in that drilling.

    I’ve never tried the ‘new’ Open Pro tubs, but do have a not crazy old pair of Reflexes. They haven’t blown up yet and have the advantage of being 22mm wide, so slightly more than the Nemesis.

    All that said, I wouldn’t spend lots on 36h tubulars with a freewheel hub... Something like Kinlin ADHN would visually match the hubs, while being wide, modern and far cheaper than TB14s (or most likely new tub rims).

  • In 36h you choices are more limited.

    Kinlin tb20 are 20h/24H/28H/32H only.

    Mavic open pro t are not a bad choice. Nemesis rims would be awesome.
    Campagnolo strada/victory rims are good.

    In fact i have a number of tubular rims.

    I know i have a nisi rim and a 36h mavic monterry. Drop me an email, not PM and i will have a look in the tub box.
