Mavic Open Pro Hugi DT Swiss 240 hubs 28-spoke 700c alloy clincher wheel set

Frame and Wheel is auctioning a Mavic Open Pro wheel set with Hugi DT Swiss 240 hubs on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The wheel set was purchased new in 2003 and were used as race wheels that year. They have been in storage ever since. The owner is selling the wheel set because he no longer uses them and he is clearing out his basement of cycling equipment. The wheel set features Hugi DT Swiss 240 hubs, Mavic Open Pro rims, Sapim double butted alloy spokes and Mavic skewers. The wheel set with tires and skewers together weigh 5 pounds. Returns are accepted within seven days. Please see return policy.

Review of condition

The wheel set is in good condition. The wheels are clean and there are no dents, cracks or bends in the rims. The rims are round and true and the spokes are straight and tight. The hubs spin freely and smoothly. There is no corrosion on the hubs, spokes or rims. the rim tape is fresh. The tires hold pressure and are not cracking. Frame and Wheel notes the following. There are notches on the free hub body. There are two 1 x 10 mm scratches on the brake surface of the non-drive side front rim. The braking surface shows wear. The ends of the rear skewer shows wear from a trainer. The Mavic Open Pro sticker on the front rim is peeling back in some sections.

Frame and Wheel conclusion

Frame and Wheel’s view is that this wheel set will make a very nice set of training wheels for the off season or perhaps for cyclocross. they are in good condition and they have been lightly used. The hubs are very nice and modern day classics. An excellent opportunity to obtain a very nice wheel set at an excellent valuation.
