april 2008/15 Mavic A719 on Shimano Deore XT hubs

It’s been a while since I did normal or non-fixed gear wheels. Dishing the rear wheel was good fun and these rims can take a fair bit of tension which makes for strong wheels. Both laced 3-cross mainly for strength using DT Swiss Competition double butted spokes and brass nipples.

These wheels are about to go on a round the world trip which makes me proud and also a bit nervous. What I secretly wish is that they come home without even going out of true.
