Mavic versus Velomax

yes-<< I have been looking for some new rims and I have
narrowed it down to the two rim manufacturers.

Anyone have some opinions on the above ? >><BR><BR>

Neither-Go see a decent wheelbuilder that will design a
wheelset specifically for you and your needs. Not some wheel
outta a box manufacturer that will market-sell then abandon
these designs.

Email me your needs and I'll build ya a set-

Peter re-read his post. He is "looking for some new rims"
and wants to know about "Mavic versus Velomax". I agree with
you that if he is seeking to *complete* boutique wheelset,
forget it. What alot of people don't realize is if they buy
a boutique wheelset, what is the cost if the rim and/or
spokes to replace if it gets damaged. Replacement rims for
Mavic Kyserium (sp?) can *start* at something like $150, and
up, for EACH RIM! Don't even ask about a replacement rim for
a Campy Neutron or Eurus....

However, if he finds a good wheelbuilder, he can purchase a
good, durable and fairly lightweight rim starting as low as
$30 each. Mavic Open Pro rims are pretty durable. Velocity,
Ambrosio, FiR, Sun and many others also make good rims.
Don't know about Velomax?

I doubt you could build a Mavic or Velomax rim for $ 30 or
everybody would do that !!
