After a decent eight years or so of service it has been officially concluded that the Mavic X317 laced to a Hope XC hub is goosed.
I can get it rebuilt for £25, providing it doesn't need new spokes and the X319 appears about right for use,weight etc.
Anything else to look at around the £20 mark.
The issue might be that if news spokes are needed, it's creeping up to new wheel money?
Anyone got anything lying around the want rid of.

26"/32 hole.

where are you bud? I'm in staffs.
I've got an old 26" rear that you can have for a £5 charity donation. shimano 615 hub laced to a wtb rim, not tubeless specific so unsure whether it would take a ghetto adaptation. The hub was serviced then put in the shed when I got some new wheels about 3 years ago, so it would probably benefit from a grease up.

Is the x319 the same ERD as the x317? If not there is a fair chance you might need new spokes. You can however work out the spoke lengths using one of the calculators then go looking for rims to fit.

I believe that the 319 and 317 are the same ERD - I've swapped a 717 to a 719 without having to replace spokes.
