I ride the mavic t-519/520, they seem to perform the best out of the many I've tried, I do occasionally bend one. I understandt SUN makes a stronger rim, I'm going to try one next failure.
I'm glad to hear you like the Mavics as I've just had a set of wheels built with them onto Hope hubs.

£240 ($350-400)!

My old Wolber Super Champions and Campag hubs have given fine service but have had their day. Braking surface is very bad now.
