26.12Rim ConfusionWMOIS::GIROUARD_CThu Mar 06 1997 06:1315
    Well, I'm finally going to have my NUKE PROOF hubs built up into
    living, breathing wheels.
    
    I am not going with the Matrix Voo Doos, but would like some 
    recommendations from the crowd. Obviously, I want light, but
    durable rims. While I'm not afraid to pay for something very
    good, I'm not at the Tinker Juarez component level either.
    
    I would still like to stay with MAVIC's stuff, however.
    
    Anyone have any inputs on MAVIC's 220s?

Go with Mavic 217's.  They are about 55 a rim for the standard silver.  If you
want ceramic they're about 95 a piece.  217's are Mavic top of the line MTB rim.

    Thanks Shawn. I did just that (std. silver). I thought about the
    hard anodized, but decided to go with the bare alloy.
    
    I even got XTR cogs at the price of XTs because of some labeling
    mix-up. 
    
    Can't wait to get them as well as get my new V brakes installed.
    
    Anyone know if the SRAM (ESP) carbon fiber brake levers are
    available yet?
