deemax rim?

EX823 is the same rim as the deemax but not in yellow with the sweet letters.
yep but the EX823 will have 32 or 34 holes...While the deemax has 28 I believe...
except the whole 32/36 spoke thingy
The EX823's come in 32/36h.I need to replace the front rim on my deemax wheels.Anyone know where I can find one?Anyone have one they want to get rid of?Also does anyone know if the silver deemax rims and the yellow are the same or not?Thanks.
You'd probably have to contact Mavic and see where you can get a 28h Deemax rim from. That always made me wonder why they just didn't use 32h rims. I know for the racer boys out there it's 4 more spokes but now they have to make a 28/32/36h rim that's basicly all the same.
Ask Mavic, or have a shop contact them and ask specifically for a deemax rim. They'll send the same color and hole count you had.
I have the '04 Deemax which were made in silver ano. The construction of the rim is different than the current Deemax. The '04 has some groove along the side of the rim whereas the newer Deemaxes are smooth (like the 823). Both are 28 hole rims... perhaps the newer rims could be a bit beefier.
Your local bike shop should be able to hook you up with replacement Mavic parts.

funny. I have one 823 with a groove in the side (got this spring) and one with out (from last summer)
Thanks guy I guess I will check with the bike shop.
One more question this front hub only measures 90mm wide.Shouldn't it be 110.The hub is to narrow for my fox 36.Am I missing some parts or what?
yep. you sure are.
theres 2 sets of inserts that fit into the hub's axle. one set looks just like 1cm long extensions of the 20mm diameter and the other set are skinier and just pop in and have a big enough hole for a quick release. they allow your wheel to be used in qr or 20mm forks. hope this makes sense.

Thats what I thought.Guess I need to buy some cause I have none.Thanks.
