Replacement for Mavic Open Pro C silver 36 hole rim

[alicat]

The rim on my front wheel is wearing thin. I'm struggling to find a replacement rim (Mavic Open Pro C 622 36 hole) in silver.

Can anyone suggest something comparable to match the back wheel (that rim is fairly new)?

Or does anyone have a spare rim/wheel that they would be willing to sell me?

Thanks

Give Spa a buzz and see what they suggest, if anyone can supply a silver 36h rim they will

I managed last year to find what then appeared to be the last new silver 36h Open pro (sounds like a golf tournament ) rim in the country. At an obscure London shop. Sorry! Cost about £50 though They’ve been discontinued it seems

I think my wheel builder used kinlin rim when he rebuilt the wheels on my old peugeot. they have a few silver "classic" looking 36 hole options

....but bikeInn have open pro in stock...

Think that's a tubular rim.

Good idea to give Spa a ring @vickster.

I think the one you linked to is a T (tubular), the OP is wanting a C (clincher) rim.

good spot, they also have Open elites in stock which are visually similar to open pro's and appear to be clinchers, although is not very obvious from their website what is what, but the OP could reference to Mavic site

All the 36h ones available seem to be black.
How about this (other than an exact match, this will be closest):

Is 470g rather than 425g and the joint is pinned rather than welded. Yours for £28.

Thanks @Ajax Bay. That looks to be the best option.

I have rebuilt a wheel with exactly one of those rims. Is shiny. Several rides, when heading east at sunset I kept looking behind thinking there's a car. But it's the last of the sun reflecting in my front Open Elite rim. You wouldn't get that with those black ones.
Here's a Sport (Mavic rebranded that rim as 'Elite' about 4 years ago - is identical):

As mentioned by @Ajax Bay , the Open Elite will be your best option.

I think I have a 36 spoke silver open pro built by harry Rowlands, changed it when I needed to change back wheel. Its in the garage at home and I'm in Cornwall.

I'll check at the weekend and come back. If it looks a plan, cost would be postage plus modest donation to my local hospice.

Thanks @PK99, I'll pm you.

Job done!

I'm happy. Alicat seems happy. And St Raph's hospice will be happy!

And the world spins just a little easier on its axis
