Luke Rainbird Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I already have a white one Kennard's right though - if they could make them wider, without compromising strength and weight too much, it'd be an absolute winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Its a shame Mavic never considered entering the trials market and design a trials specific rim. D521/EX721 is still a good rim though a little thin on width. unusually strong for a small rim wall construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future orange 660 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 it was a trials rim.. almostuntil massive wide frames arrived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 The 325 is a little wider (And probably the widest rim Mavic make). In Mavic rim numbering the last two digits of the rim number is the width of the rim in mm... The first number is how expensive the rim is with 1 being cheapest. Every rim I've bought for the past decade was Mavic except for my first trials frame when I discovered I couldn't mount the brakes far enough in to reach a D521...

In Mavic rim numbering the last two digits of the rim number is the internal width of the rim in mm... The first number is how expensive the rim is with 1 being cheapest.

Al_Fel Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 If mavic made a wide rim they would clean up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
