Hey Tom,

I did clock them earlier... got to be silver though. Thanks for the heads up.

@greg - thanks but 32 holes will match the silver hubs I am planning on lacing them too

@bazschmaz Did you find a set?

I am looking for a single Mavic Open Pro Rim, silver, 32h.
Not necessarily new but must have not been used with a brake.

Let me know if you manage to find yours or a job lot and happens to have a spare one...

Hey Vince,

No sweat, if i happen to source an extra one or come across a place that does them super cheap I'll shout you via a pm.

Everyone else - still looking.

£35 each reasonable me thinks.

I ended up buying 2x Ambrosio Excursion rims on Planet X as they have an additional 25% off on sales items, making the pair of rims only £30 + £3.95 postage.

I now have 1x spare used Mavic Open Pro - in 32h / silver which has been used with a brake so give me a shout if you need it...

That's a good deal on the rim, been needing a new wheel on my tourer for ages so I'm tempted to do the same but shouldn't be spunking the cash. Didn't you buy your spokes there too? They've got a pretty good deal on Sapim Race ones on.

I need 272mm front / 280mm rear spokes.

Sapim Leader Plain Gauge Spokes are £0.19 each so that's £6.08 for 32
Sapim Race are £0.79/£0.69 each so that's £22/£25 per wheel so a bit too rich for my build.

In comparison, Araya Stainless Steel Plain Gauge Spokes are only £6.70 for 36 on eBay:

So I am likely to go for these.

Sapim Race are £0.39 on Planet X atm, £12.48 for 32. Jus'sayin'

Unfortunately, the size I need aren't £0.39, also there isn't an extra 25% off on them.

Araya / Halo spokes for me it is.

[Planet X track hubs are also down to a measly £7.49 each so you could build a brand new half decent wheelset for £60]

Fair dos. I did see the hubs and am grappling with the impulse to buy all the things...

I don't even need any of this stuff. I had a spare rear wheel with a used silver Open Pro rim and a black Condor Uno hub. I also have a spare rear silver Condor Uno hub.

Now I have bought 2x Ambrosio Excursion Rims and a front PX track hub in black.

I should just have sold that rear wheel...

I may need a new rear wheel, think my rim is dying, how much would you want for it?

I will need to rebuild the rear wheel with my spare silver Condor hub first...
But once that's done, probably £35 (as it is missing the track nuts and one serrated washer).

I'm sure I could source those parts

Hey Vince,

I'll take that rim, though it'd need posting which sounds like ball ache.

The excursion rims are really nice, my current whilst is a pair of them on miche hubs. I just want silver. For matchy.

Edit - used an additional code pxliquid25 and got a pair of ambrosio excursion rims for £14.99 each.

Now what hubs - Suze do a high flange non NJS track hub set that look the same. The decals might be straighter but thats fine because now we can fix it.

Glad to hear is it all sorted. Sorry for the thread hijack.

Internet says Ambrosio Excursion ERD is 600.5mm.

Don't forget to get rim tape & inner tubes (£0.75 in the sale).

I wish I'd ordered some of those PX GutterSnipper tyres as they are £7.49 minus 25%

@Vince What is ERD?

Might take that pair of silver hubs if they are going?

It is the Effective Rim Diameter - you need to know this measurement and the hub flange diameter in order to order spoke the right length.

I will rebuild the rear silver hub on the used Open Pro rim and sell the front one only so I will drop you a PM with photos.

i got a 32h hole Mavic MA3 set pretty much brand new only been used on the track...
Brake surface has never been used..

u can have them for 50,- euro

@Mancini I have rebuilt that used silver Mavic Open Pro rim on a silver Condor Uno fixed / fixed track hub.
So perfectly true laterally & radially.

Although freshly rebuilt, it was done with used parts so the rims shows wear and a very minor dent. Eight of the spokes were scuffed when I derailled, however I have moved them onto the inside of the non drive side so they are less visually intrusive. It is missing the serrated washer on one side.

Anyway, yours for £35 as mentioned, including rim tape / inner tube / Specialized Armadillo 700c x 23mm tyre.

@bazschmaz I have a that spare front track hub if you want it.
Seeing that I managed to pick up a new one on PX for cheap, how does £5 sound for it.

On reflection I don't think I'm going to build up the ambrosio rims i got from planet x, so before I return them if anyone wants them at the discounted price of £14.99 a rim then lemme know...
