Howdy. I bought a set of Mavic 823 rims back in '09 and had a lot of trouble with them. I ran Maxxis UST Minions front and back (30 psi both) and I pinch flatted the rear (right above the bead) during race practice off some rocks. At that point I threw on a regular Minion with a tube and I think that held. I've ridden this section before on different rims with tubes with no problem.
I had built up these wheels a couple years ago and they have been collecting dust ever since. Trying to figure out what to do with them.
Has anyone else had issues with 09 and later 823's? I heard the rim design was a bit different before 09 and that people didn't have any pinch flat issues.
