Dear Frank,

Never touch the stuff myself, but here's a place that sells parts and
builds track wheels . . .

John Dacey also provides high-quality Latin tags and posts on RBT.

I like the Bontrager Race X Lite clincher track wheels I ride.

The clincher version of the track wheel isn't shown on their web site,
but I think it's pretty similar to the road version:

Also the Bontrager carbon track wheels might be similar except for the
rims:

Here's the owner's manual for Bontrager's track hubs:

What kind of Mavic and what kind of problem?

I got my Ellipses from my LBS, and the stock rim tape is the wrong
width, a problem easily fixed at no charge. They also have a weird
lock ring thread, but Sheldon sorted that out. Apart from that, after
18 months of use for time trials and the odd velodrome training
session, I'm very happy with them and I think they'd be hard to beat
at the price (UK)
