Wanted Rim replacement for 719 rim brake

[fluis]

I have a 2003 Rocky Mountain Blizzard. I have Chris King/Mavic 719 rim brake wheels on it. The rear rim is cracked and both wheels have pretty bad brake surface pitting appvalley tutuapp tweakbox. Needless to say, I need to replace the rims. Is there a modern decent 26” rim brake rim available?

Are you looking for modern so you can run tubeless or just looking for a pair of rims to replace the mavics?

There aren't many modern rims in that size but places such as sjs cycles do stock 26" rims

What hole count and colour are you looking for?

These are available in the for sale section and I though about nabbing them but I need a single 28h rim to complete a wheel build. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/pair-of-26-mavic-xm719-rims-brand-new.444145/

You could get them built by your lbs into your existing hubs.

he needs to snap those up. When I searched what is available in 26" and rim brake there doesn't seem to be anything of quality.

I agree, seems like the best option to me.

I picked up a 26” 28h massi rim for a coda hub build from these guys.

I bought another pair that turned out to be disc specific although this wasn’t clear from the description or images. I contacted them and they sent out a courier to collect and gave me a refund in very quick order.
