Jurgen Beneke wheels?

[Davichin]

Hello all!

I would like to know what wheels (hubs, rims and tyres) Jurgen Beneke used when he raced around 1993. I have made some research but what I find are poor quality images (no digital back then ). I would say he used M900 hubs, and Araya RM-20 from the out-of-focus green/yellow sticker in the rear rim in the attached image, but I don´t know... so I would appreciate any info you could have on the matter :roll:

Cheers!

David

Hi David, hope you had a nice Christmas.

The first and 3rd picture look to be the same wheel set, certainly look like m900 front hub, likely matching rear I guess?

Rims could be araya rm20 or mavic 121? but im not sure the 121 was out in 93.

Second pics looks to be running something different, maybe campag?

Agree, Middle pic looks like a campag Atek, other RM20

Why don't you ask the guy he is on Twitter @Benekejurgen ? I am sure he will respond!

Thank you very much for your answer! According to Mombat´s Mavic´s timeline http://mombat.org/MOMBAT/BikeHistoryPages/Mavic.html
121 were introduced in 1995, so I don´t know. That sticker in the third pic looks like Araya RM20... but who knows... and tyres are also unknown :roll:

Cheers my friend! :xmas-wink:

Thank you very much for your help! I don´t remember hard anodized/brownish color Ateks, nevertheless I will check

Hello Dale,

I first tried Steve Gravenites as he built wheels for Juergen per: http://www.gravywheels.com/116.html
with no luck, so yesterday I tried Juergen at his Facebook inbox (I have never used twitter) with no answer yet. I will post any info if I get any further...

Thank you all!

Asked him via FB also and he thinks Mavic rims but can't remember 100%

Wheels from 1993 - Shimano Hubs (36 spokes) and Mavic SUB Rims with first generation "ceramic" walls - nice breaking and clear optics even after over 20 years and nice "total" milage - but a bit weak in wet conditions - plus we had few Mavic Carbon "Trispokes" in the team

Assume this was from the team wench or another Getman pro who ride with Juergen....

Middle pic looks like XTR M900 hubs on Mavic 217 rims to me

Thank you all very much!

Regarding tyres I am fairly sure that the ones in all three images are Ritchey Megabite ZMAX WCS ( 2.35? ) like:
