So, after pulling eyelets out of three Reflex wheelbuilds, I got the rebuilt wheels with Ambrosio Nemesis, courtesy of Flux. Put a nice layer of glue on the rim and tire. Put valve stem in valve stem hole. Won't go. What? I look at it, give a firm push and it goes in. Nice and tight. Holds the valve stem perfectly perpendicular. Not that slop that you get with the big hole Mavic drills.

I'm going to love these hoops. Sure they're 40 grams heavier, but it will beat rebuilding the wheels every year!

yeah, I have the cronos built around campy record hubs, pretty dependable, great training wheels. mavic has pretty much gone to selling complete wheelsets for $1k.
