Called Mavic to order some new rims (823s), dude said they were discontinued and they haven't named/priced it's replacement yet. So a new rim in the works?
Anyone have any info?
Now I gotta find new rims for the new wheelset.... without 823's I'm lost...

They still show it on their site. Would be interesting to see if they come out with something new. Mine has lasted really well and better than 729s.

They have them in their 2012 dealer catalog.

Thanks for that, but you're missing the point of the thread. I don't need help trying to find rims... point is Mavic is revising/replacing the 823...
That's exciting, is it not?

problem solved . . .


oupsss my bad, yeah , interested to see the new revised rim for 2012

 

[Nagaredama]

For 2012 all the rims have new stickers, that is the big change. 823 is alive and well.

 

[slyfink]

I'd be more excited if they produced an AM 821....

 

[fred.r]

Whatever, ya'll a bunch of doo-doo pies. Mavic told me they're revising the 823, if it's just new stickers then that's lame, you're correct, but that's not how he made it sound on the phone.

 

[wood booger]

Euro Bike is happening very soon, if they have anything new it should be officially released then.

 

[Salami]

Hmmmm.... would be cool if the new rim retains it's strength but is as light or lighter than the first version.

I would love to have a UST rim for trail riding that is larger than the 819 but not as heavy as the 'current' 823.

 

[frorider]

carbon.

 

[tuumbaq]

I guess it will be similar to the Deemax rim . . .

 

[bdamschen]

carbon.

...would be expensive.

823's get a sticker change only.

Some of the dealers already have them. and they are just getting new stickers

 

[no skid marks]

Good.
If it aint broke...

 

[daisycutter]

They could just change numbers like the magic 321/729 rim.

 

[no skid marks]

The numbers are measurements now, hence the 729, 721.

Am I the only one to notice that pricepoint seems to be selling old 823s? Old stickers and claimed weight?

I've noticed Pricepoint does that with a lot of stuff. SAINT! 75% Off!....2006

They must raid companies basements for out dated, but new, parts. Not bad if you're looking for a deal really.

Funny, I called and asked them before I ordered my set. They were the most current stickers. Guys said they just forgot to update the image on their site.

Too bad. Imho the old ones were better. They were lighter by a fair bit and I have no problems with them being weak. I may be only 160lb but my rear old 823 has 2.5 seasons in it and Im heavy on my wheels. Fortunately I have a spare old 823 if anything happens.

I'm not saying they miss brand anything, just that sometimes their huge percent off deals are previous generations. My previous post was just a generalization. Nothing wrong with it really, like I said if you're not picky about the latest gear it's a good way to save $$.

But if some one isn't paying attention they might not get what they think they ordered.
