Anyone recommend a good, well priced and currently available v brake rim?Any thoughts on the Mavic XM117?They look ok and seriously well priced(£20 in CRC).
Technically its xc717 over the xm 317 are 20g lighter, welded instead of pinned together and gain an annoying click when the tab thing in it dislodges.
XM317 over the XM117 is eyelets for the spoke nipples if I remember correctly.
Probably some Aluminium alloy variant as well. I cannot remember.
These are the older style ones 2011 and before, not seen if the newer ones have changed.
