Hey all! I have a pair of lightly used Mavic 36H A719 Rims I'm looking to sell. These rims were built into a wheelset that was a back up for me and have seen very little use. Brake tracks could pass as new. Stickers are the only thing that isn't perfect. No dents and they are straight like

A couple of folks have enquired about max tire size. The frame can handle up to 42mm tires without fenders. Wider metal fenders (than the current honjos designed for 32mm tires) would need to be cut to accommodate chain stays, or SKS fenders with existing cut outs could be used too of course.
