After my accident in 2009, I picked up a Colnago with Mavic 501 hubs and GL330 rims. They are well used with the ano nearly gone near the spokes, typical. They are 32 hole and at the time, I weighed near 210-220. I did have a spoke failure but found the tension to be off on the rest of the spokes and a mix of both DB and straight ga. I fixed both and have not had an issue since. The configuration is 126 spacing with 7 spd. A local recycle bicycle shop had a pair of NOS GL330 that I picked up for the cost of a low end tubular tire. I use them to stretch tubulars until I figure out what I am going to do with them. I may be on the edge of the envelope with them but after a couple thousand miles, I am not worried.
