Mavic T519 ceramic rim-reuseable?

I have been using for the last 3 rainy seasons a set of
wheels with Mavic T519 ceramic rims. They are expensive but
seem to hold up better in wet weather riding, non ceramic
rims seem to wear through the sidewall(the sidewalls start
to flare out, after being ground down by wet road grime day
after day, even being wiped down after every ride.)

Unfortunately, my rear older German Hugi hub went bad and
can't be fixed. The ceramic rim is still true and round,
even after 7,000+ miles. Would it be safe to reuse this rim
on a new hub? There are no cracks, etc.

Thanks,

Yes, you can.
If the rim isn't damaged or worn out you can resuse it.
It isn't very common because rims usually wear our or are damaged before the hub.

Sure-no problem-ensure it is built well.

Sure, why not?
