Mavic 230 TIB

Got a pair of these in really nice condition for £30 posted.

Chris.

If there's plenty of sidewall left I could be interested in one of them...

*edit*

I better count some spoke-holes before I get carried away! :roll:

They were like new, but sadly now sold.

If anyone's still after these I have a used pair of 32h. The braking surface is still good. PM me if you're interested.

230 are light, but fragile, dint easily and certainly made out of tin foil

We had this discussion on this same 230 rim in a thread a year back....still my favorite rim and I'm a tad under 200 lbs and throw everything I have at mine and they continue to hold up well....the problem with some of you is you feel that bikes are made to fly.... and you don't know how to land. I'm in the process of building up a pair of NOS 28H with some M960 XTR hubs that match the rim color almost perfectly. At 28 hole I'm expecting that they'll be the lightest mountain bike wheel set I have and I expect that they will hold up just fine. One of the finest rims ever made IMHO.

yes, don't get me wrong. fragile is a consequence of the design... My one that is left still runs fine, though with a few dint in it.
Though BiTD my mates one's err where not quite as lucky and that's not under abusive use.

Just not a strong as others... cheap though hence we used them for quick replacements.
