Backstory, I raced on this wheel, and the rough roads meant it was rebuilt a couple of times for rim warrantees. This is the second time around and they had their technician repair it with extra resin sometime in the late 90s. The repair was good and it was stable for a few years when I would ride it ocassionally, but there is a bulge on the braketrack which was produced by all the extra resin that was injected into the rim there, from the repair itself. It makes for a bit of a pulse on the rear pads when braking, as I recall, and it hasn't got any worse than it ever was. Note that pictures 5 and 6 are of the same spot on the rim, and it's a fairly small blem when it's rolling.

A more recent modification I made, which makes this unique wheel rideable with more modern gears, is replacing the original Mavic 571 cassette freewheel, with Hyperglide-compatible one from a salvaged Mavic Cosmic Pro hub (1996 model) which fits on and egages the pawls exactly the same. The original Mavic cassette cogs are exceedingly scarce, although I used a Boone Tech titanium cog set which shifted considerably better, before buying Shimano cassettes like most everybody else. So this freewheel upgrade is unquestionably necessary.

I will leave the tubular on this wheel and it is still firmly attached at pressure, but for liability reasons must repeat that the tire must be removed and re-glued leaving 24 hours to cure before riding or racing purposes. It has been on there for about 15 years now, so fresh glue is a safety matter.

This will be an oversize package so shipping will include a fuel surcharge for many locations. Shipping by Canada Post.
