Mavic 519

Does anyone use these on the rear? If so how many grinds do you think they can take. Ive had one for while and the grind has worn smooth. The sidewalls seem way thinner than a 521. Its ona lightweight wheel set that I built for woodland riding only so strength wasnt a priority.

Many thanks in advance

Hey Steve,

I used to run one of those rear rims... it only had one light grind on it though. It was plenty strong enough, as long I was reasonably smooth, and used decent tyre pressures.

The only way you're gonna know when the sidewalls are too thin, is when it dents easily!

So, you can either just keep grinding away, or keep it smooth and put up with slightly inconsistent brakes.

Hope that helps,

Adam
