Lots of 30mm deep rims, but I'd prefer to re use the spokes from this wheel as it's done very low miles before the eyelet split.


fcs28 has ~590mm ERD. I think this isn't a match for the Mavic rims. However if you had the old wheel built x3, you might be able to build it x2 with the same spokes and a larger ERD rim.

Out of interest where is the bad eyelet in your fcs28 rim (with respect to the valve hole/rim join)?

cheers


The bad eyelet was two from the join.


Ambrosio FCS28 are mid-profile rims, they have no eyelets

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best,
since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.
Thus you remember them as they actually are...
