| 1894.1 | Believe me, I've broken a few rims | HALFDM::BUCHANAN | Bat | Thu Apr 04 1991 00:56 | 6 |

Mavic guarantees their rims. Take it to any shop and they should give
you a new rim. I also had one shop rebuild the wheel and told me that
Mavic paid for the labor.

| 1894.2 | Avoid anodized rims | ULTRA::WITTENBERG | Uphill, Into the Wind | Thu Apr 04 1991 08:36 | 9 |
| Jobst Brandt (author of "The Bicycle Wheel") feels very stronly
that you should avoid anodized rims. He claims to have seen
several new sorts of failures now that people are using them. I've
heard similar reports from other sources.
So, my advice is to stick with an unanodized rim, and the MA-40
you were using sounds like a fine choice.

| 1894.3 | Thanks for the warranty tip | BCSE::KLASMAN | ALL-IN-1 DESKtop for PCs. dtn 381-0731 | Thu Apr 04 1991 08:43 | 6 |
| I'll have to check out the warranty situation. I'd assumed that the rim was old
enough to have outlived any warranty. That sure will save me a lot of money!
re .-1 The MA-40 is a hard anodized rim.

I have never used the Campy rims that you mentioned. I am not saying
they are garbage but they are not Campy's finest. They are one of the
lowest priced rims. From what I remember the wheels are easily built
by machine. Low cost wheels.
