Hi everyone. Im new to the group and I suddenly find myself in this same situation.
My 2009 ksyrium Elite rear rim split at a spoke hole and I’d like to rebuild it. I have some experience building wheels, but it’s been a long time. My question is how to find a compatible rim that is currently available. I see the 2016 elite rim uses the same size spokes (+/- 1 mm) but the hub design is slightly different on the drive side. Does anyone have experience or information that can help me make this happen?
Thanks in advance.

Good luck in finding rims. I've had to bin a good pair of Cross rides as the rim wore out and there aren't compatible rims available (funny spoke counts).
