Mavic versus Velomax

yes-<< I have been looking for some new rims and I have narrowed it down to the
two
rim manufacturers.

Anyone have some opinions on the above ? >><BR><BR>

Neither-Go see a decent wheelbuilder that will design a wheelset specifically
for you and your needs. Not some wheel outta a box manufacturer that will
market-sell then abandon these designs.

Email me your needs and I'll build ya a set-

Peter re-read his post. He is "looking for some new rims" and wants to
know about "Mavic versus Velomax". I agree with you that if he is
seeking to *complete* boutique wheelset, forget it. What alot of
people don't realize is if they buy a boutique wheelset, what is the
cost if the rim and/or spokes to replace if it gets damaged.
Replacement rims for Mavic Kyserium (sp?) can *start* at something
like $150, and up, for EACH RIM! Don't even ask about a replacement
rim for a Campy Neutron or Eurus....

However, if he finds a good wheelbuilder, he can purchase a good,
durable and fairly lightweight rim starting as low as $30 each. Mavic
Open Pro rims are pretty durable. Velocity, Ambrosio, FiR, Sun and
many others also make good rims. Don't know about Velomax?

I doubt you could build a Mavic or Velomax rim for $ 30 or everybody would
do that !!

Just like people calling a wheel a 'rim' and people calling a rim a wheel.
Velomax doesn't make rims alone, just wheels.
