Hi folks,
Have done a little damage to the rear wheel on the Santana. Basically I over-tightened the spokes on the truing jig and the RIM has started to crack along the centre line between spoke eyelets. I'm struggling to find a similar replacement.
The current rim is a Mavic CXP-33 40 hole. JD have been on the case for me, but the best they can suggest is an A719, which I think has significantly less of a deep-section.
So what I'm after is either a dusty back room somewhere with a CXP-33 I can buy or an alternative which is at least as deep (if not deeper).
A couple of hours on google hasn't yielded much luck. I even tried Harris cyclery, but to no avail. The mavic website still lists the CXP-33 as current, but there are no contact details on there to ask intelligent questions and their specification info doesn't even mention spoke count. I've seen some reference to 40H velocity rims, but they look a little on the narrow side for tandem use.
I guess this could be the excuse we've been waiting for to buy a bling new wheelset, but I'm not sure if that can be justified at the moment.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
AC
