Mavic X139 rim - current equivalent?

My FiL's MTB has Mavic X139 wheels (v-brake). We bought him a dynohub for his birthday, but I can't seem to find the X139. The mavic website doesn't help, so what is the current model equivalent rims, again v-brake?
TIA.

IIRC it should be X319 (cunning, eh?)
FWIW, the range now goes:
X119
X319*
X719
*but, it would appear that the X319 is no longer available, so it's €23 for a X117, or €54 for a X719

As you need a rim brake hub I'd contact a wheelbuilder, they may have some cheap ones in stock.
But otherwise it's the X117 on a budget or X719 if you're feeling plush. What tyres is he running?

Spoke with Ally Gow at Wheelcraft who is a wheelbuilder of some renown, and FiL is getting 719 rim
Well it is his birthday

Big Al built my wheels, they're bomb-proof. Good choice.

Big Al built my wheels, four of them, they all suffered from spoke failure, two of them with less than 100 miles on them too

You're the only person I've ever heard of having problems with Big Al's builds and I've met a lot of people riding on his wheels. What was the build?

The last two digits in the rim ID are the width - so X117 are narrower than X119. First digit seems to indicate the quality (1 being the most basic, usually not eyeletted). X for cross country, XM for heavier duty.
