Right i've got a set of mavic crossrides & after several years of hard use the back wheel has finally succumbed to extreme wobblyness. I've retrued it a few times to make it ridable but i reckon the rim is now pretty much on its way out. On the other hand the hub is still nigh on perfect. So i was thinking about seeing if i could get a replacement hub & new non bladed straight head spokes to rebuild.
Basically i was just wondering if anyone has done this/is it possible to get a new 24 hole rim/right length straight head spokes/rebuild it manually with enough tension cause they're only 24 spoke?
good luck with that
ive done ksyrium SL wheels before - got the last rim from mavic uk - was 90 quid ! needed some new spokes at 6 quid each
personally id take it to the bike shop , get it trued propper and ride it to the death , spend the cost of a new rim and rebuild on something used off the classifieds with a hope hub 😀
Seconded. Don't even try. It'll be a mission.
An expensive mission
i did it with a set of crossmax. really easy to strip and rebuild but cost me a fortune for the spokes.
It was worth it though, kept the wheel running good for years... well until the bike was stolen
