Technical Strengths for Classic Wheel Building
Constructed in France, this matched drilling pair offers robust resistance for everyday riding and historic events like L'Eroica. The 36-hole drilling pattern ensures maximum wheel stability when laced to period-correct hubs. Note that there is a slight color variance between the two rims, with one rim being visibly darker than the other. The photos form part of the description to show this exact coloration difference.
For a complete vintage wheel project, you can couple these with a vintage Mavic 500 RD Front/Rear Hubset or browse our alternative Mavic MA40 Dark Grey Clincher Rims.
